Haiku 81

Pigeon glide
reflection, puddle…
two torn shoes

☯️

Chill wind,
dog pant…
thickened twilight

☯️

That olive tree…
almost too far
to write

☯️

Saturday…
my left nostril whistles,
in/out

☯️

After midnight…
that fire alarm
winds down

☯️

Banana slug
and yellow-spotted leaf
trade salutes

☯️

I’ve failed…
he wants to go back
and sleep with the bugs

☯️

Near noon…
spatter blown south
from a drainpipe

☯️

Christmas Eve…
my walls creak
from the cold

☯️

Overripe…
the old man
sleeps in the barley

☯️

Three men acquitted,
sun falls…
the shortest day

☯️

Hunter,
by firelight…
shows his gold

☯️

Christmas Day,
rain rustle…
wood-warbler

☯️

I can almost
mistake toilet flush, for
washing machine

☯️

Last haiku
this year…
hand to shaven cheek

☯️
