I woke for two hours / just as time fell back so it / only took one hour. / Haikumages

I woke for two hours / just as time fell back so it / only took one hour.

Twoku:
I awoke as time / fell back to save the daylight / hour gained, nothing lost.

Threeku:
I woke for an hour / until I felt time fall back / then lived it again.

Posting these five, a day late, as people return to work after the time change.  I was saddened, though not surprised (after thinking about it) to hear on the news that the rate of heart attacks goes up right after each falling back and springing forward through time, which we commit in the hopes of saving some daylight.

“Haikumages” are short poems (mostly haiku and senryu-style) combined with images (mostly original photographs and graphics) by Russ Murray.
