Andy,

What a wonderful tribute to your brother!
The lightness - I hear it in a whisper.
Prayerful.

Best regards,
Pat

My youngest brother died in 1979, long before I discovered haiku.  I wrote this recently:

summer sky
that cloud looks like
my brother

the game of  War
we slap the cards down hard
following thunder

Adelaide


thunder muffles
old hanging chimes
soft snoring

Matthew


snoring dragon...
a down feather floats up
and down with the smoke

Vida


smoke rings
wobble then dissipate
lost signals

daysleeper


signals
the tiny door in my head
opens to sky blue

company lunch
my boss measures
his sandwich

John


sandwiched between
a Kindle and the Times
on the underground

Sue


Underground
the first note probes
my Balkan bones

Vida


bone marrow
the wag of ancestral tongues
war to war to war

yawning . . .
her date pours the last glass
of mountain red  ~ pat


red dawn —
his face slapped
by an autumn chill  ~ don


a chill in the air
we discuss new wills
in the autumn dusk

Adelaide


autumn dusk
a faint sound scent
of fox

Alan


fox tracks
only the crunch of snow
for company

night owl
along the roof tops
the sound of fog

Don

fog horn
marks time amongst
anchored boats

Sue

anchored boats
in the bathtub...
the sailor yawns

Vida

yawning . . .
her date pours the last glass
of mountain red

cart of fruit
  alien...
on the city sidewalk
                     ~ Kizen


side walk slide slip the crab waltz boogie step
                                        - Sue

step by step
the cat learns how to catch
from the koi pond


pond clouds
and cattail fluff
white on blue
