An excerpt Rocky Mountain-Holiday Wiper blades lop off Night-rain: An AM-sad song Becomes squelch. "Are you deaf?" she says. Headlight beams Blind them. Rocky Mountain-teeth Saw ice-wind That rocks the pick up. He flicks the wiper-switch To "high"; The blades leap into a useless Frenzy. A road-sign glows: "Banff 80 km". "I can't stand the squelch," she says. He says, "Neither can I" And turns off The radio. She adds, "This is dangerous" Above the "wop-wop" of the blades. But he just watches Two more beams Scatter across the Wet windshield. The author Dan Lukiv is a poet, novelist, columnist, short story and article writer, and independent education researcher (hermeneutic phenomenology). His creative writing has appeared in 19 countries. Recently, he has been experimenting with temporal shifts and narrative strings in his haiku and senryu.
