California Autumn Haiku
Vasilisa Rutsch
Autumn afternoon Gray-brown smoke covers the sky.
Where did the sun go?
My eyes water up
On the way to the mailbox –
A smoky evening.
Fires burn and devour
California’s autumn.
Will it ever rain?
First days of autumn –
Yet, I keep dreaming about
Cool and gray spring rains.
