Samurai Jack In Six Haiku

I
Autumn moon above:

his slow shadow is longer

than the road ahead.

II
Snow on his bright blade;
a world that is not his breathes

in and around him.

III
Only the desert

wind and his footprints point to

wards a lost future.

IV
After the distant

thunder, a demon’s laughter.
An eagle takes flight.

V
Seizing machines bow.

Petals fall like flakes of rust. 
Spring remembers him.

VI

Even bare, a pine

holds its ground, waiting, waiting

for a warrior.
