Waiting
Periwinkle mist
Over sullen sleepy hills
I wait for you here.
Flame-and-grapefruit sky
Over fields that shade their eyes
I wait for you here.
Sun-sick greening air
Over crooked cow'ring trails
I wait for you here.
Gravel-gray rainfall
Over mute and haggard cliffs
I wait for you here.
Blunt-edged silence clasps the world
I tuck my chin, wander home.
I submitted this poem in the "haiku sonnet" challenge, but the last two lines got messed up. This happens frequently on my entries, and I don't know why. Hopefully this version will be the way I had intended it originally.
