HAIKU 13

the urinal's edge, where I tip and then tap:

an open window invites

a morning bird's mocking tweet

HAIKU 12

the head crow and his cronies

brazenly peck at these stuffed plastic bags

my collected debris: discarded, devoured, savored.

HAIKU 11

tiny bats thwapping balls

add an echo to shifting shoes-on-gravel --

these schoolyard sounds, receding

HAIKU 10

this rickety train's wheezy rattle

between a baby's shriek and an old man's wail

moves me still

HAIKU 9

the train rockets out of the tunnel

a tiny girl shrieks into delight --

the peek-a-boo day, pouncing

HAIKU VIII

the few pink flowers pinched between digits

as his hurried small steps gather time

and space, plump in my palms

HAIKU VII

through a glass clearly

the boy's insistent wave

greets myself or the dimming sun
