Adrift Poem by Chen-ou Liu

Adrift

a 5-haiku sequence

the sound of leaves
crunching under my feet...
laid off

the stop, go, stop
of this gig work life...
rush hour traffic

last bus ride
office tower shadows drift
across my tired face

'long time no see...'
plumes of breath between me
and my former boss

laid off again...
I gaze at the winter skies
one cloud at a time
