The sun, sliding through
A coin slot before it sets.
Dense air on far shore.

Hi rel! Hi ku--I agree. the sun through the coin slot is a fantastic image. A fine poem! A great example of striking a match to illuminate something very brightly for a moment--which is what haiku is supposed to do, I think.

The sun sliding through a coin slot...so powerful and original! That makes so much sense in a visual way. I got a new view out of your "Hi Ku" (LOL).
