2 poems in Quadrant

The July-August issue of Quadrant magazine contains two poems by Andrew: “Red Dab” and “Temple Stone Basin”. The latter is a gunsaku comprised of five haiku. Here are the first and last haiku in “Temple Stone Basin“:

……..i

The water in it

or the stone basin itself–

which is uneven?

……..v

The cherry petal–

too heavy to be buoyed on

the light overspill.
