With the rain falling
surgically against the roof,
I ate a dish of ice cream
that looked like Kafka's hat.
It was a dish of ice cream
tasting like an operating table
with the patient staring
up at the ceiling.

One of my two favorites, Kafka's Hat & Haiku Ambulance.
Anyway, most likely this is a dedicaiton to Frans Kafka, an unknown author until his death (like we don't see this situation much). While I have not read any Kafka a short bio said he wrote as sex was a bad thing hense the "sterile" operating table.
None the less, beautiful imagery, short and sweet. You can almost taste or not taste the bland ice cream.
