Four haiku: the four winds (2019)

I  

sailing to the south 
nurse the sea, the muffled waves 
feed the toddler’s mouth

II

sailing to the north 
sounding bells ring through the clouds
in your dreams, go forth

III

sailing to the east 
spirit flask on either hip 
prepare for the feast

IV

sailing to the west 
where ye go, my darling son 
anchor of my chest
