Haiku by Kim Olmtak Gomes

All rights of the texts presented here remain with the author. haikua

parasitic insect

mother clinging to her childhood toy

ladybug

sunspots on baby’s cheeks

hidden nest

couple adopts a blind orphan

spring cloak

her own hair after chemo

balloon

the number of tourists explodes

old oak tree

father awaits me in the doorway

switflet

old man hikes up the mountain
