Here is what poet says about the poem:
"long-ago lover" is in The Heron's Nest XXII:2 (June 2020) p. 9.

The names of the Atlantic hurricanes are selected in advance and given out in alphabetical order as the storms themselves develop.
Here is Wikipedia on the names in 2024:

A few years ago, when I read the list, I noticed that the K was the name of a man with whom I'd once "dallied"!
The relationship was not tempestuous, but poets accept inspiration however it arrives ☺
I might add, here, that the haiku as submitted did not say "list of" hurricanes, and the editor wondered why I said "hurricanes" in the plural. Those who are not affected…
Well, team, you might have to explain this ku to me
I'm all lost!
Waiting to also hear what the poet has to say about it.
I really like this one, thank you for sharing this.
