This is a handwritten update to one of the haiku I wrote back in 2007. It’s already in the old book, but a suggestion by one of my list-makers has it in the running to appear in the new book as well.

If you have an attachment to any particular haiku I’ve written (whether or not it’s in the current handwritten collection), please feel free to suggest it in your list.

Even if you’re among those who’ve already submitted lists, you can still make more suggestions, of course.


could anything be
as real as the smile passing
between you and me?
