relaxing my arm
     butterfly
on the bullseye

    at the lab
    relaxing my arm
    she pokes the needle.

    Real nicely crafted haiku, and a good use of a subtle concrete shape without it shouting it out to the reader.

    where the river curves
    through the pines--
    last sunlight socked in
