Haiku Heights # 270 - Late

LATE

~ 1 ~

i promised my friends

 i'd return by moon rise

but i met this girl

~ 2 ~

on a moonless night
my key slips into her lock
did she miss me

~ 3 ~

under the full moon

i wait in the pale gray light

still alone at dawn

~ 4 ~

clouds cover the moon

on the cold stone of her grave

i place a red rose
