Haiku poet Andrea Grillo sent two death awareness haiku, which I would like to share with readers. The first may have originally appeared in Hummingbird, though publication credit is not currently available. The second poem is unpublished.

please
scatter my ashes
in a summer garden
as daylight ebbs
and colors ripen


********


when
does summer really end?
my garden
deepens with each dusk
gold and russet highlights
