Baltimore Ohio HAIKU & COMMENTARY

Canal waters flow

Fields remember twin footsteps

Old names linger still

The mention of 'twin footsteps' refers to Basil and New Market, whose identities shaped the area's heritage before they unified. The final line reflects how the original village names and stories quietly persist beneath the surface of daily life.
