My Work in the February 2023 issue of Failed Haiku

by

John J. Dunphy

The theme of this issue was time.

fireplace mantle

its clock permanently stopped on

his wife’s time of death

***

circled in black

a date on

the convict’s calendar

***

daylight savings time

my car clock adjusted by

our tech-savvy grandchild
