Always Transforming


The icicles drip
steadily as the air warms.
Do they know their end?

With the sun rising,
icicles break off and fall,
a steady clatter.

Remnants on the ground
turn into ice or water,
always transforming.

Icicles might seem like a strange theme in summer. However, though it is summer in the northern hemisphere, it is the middle of winter in the southern hemisphere. A haiku triptych about icicles might then not seem so extraordinary. In any case, whilst in blazing heat, one can get nostalgic about icicles.

Judy, thanks for the cooling words, as I, too, sit and melt and clatter!
Peace,
Muff
