Second Glance: haiku
by

Alicia M. Scott

When I first started this class last year, I was determined to drop it. However, I decided to give it a second glance and now I'm glad I did.


a building
with its own memories
now an empty shell


home again
just for a visit
chores


music playing
it’s only me
and the dance


a flag slowly lowers
silence broken
by those few sad notes


sitting
beneath the stars
a girl dreams


dreams shattered
one last look . . .
before I turn out the lights


surrounded by family
but alone
forever and always
