<strong>Haiku</strong> <strong>Society</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>America</strong><br />
Sequence<br />
At the Orphanage<br />
by J. Frank Kenney, Arkansas<br />
that first night<br />
tears wetting a nun’s bodice<br />
the smell <strong>of</strong> starch<br />
a pile <strong>of</strong> old coats<br />
we race to snatch<br />
winter warmth<br />
the coat I grab<br />
no holes<br />
no pockets either<br />
thru the chain link<br />
sis’ tiny fingers<br />
reach for mine<br />
the smell <strong>of</strong> fries<br />
nothing else reaches<br />
the end <strong>of</strong> the table<br />
