runaway leaf
dangled on a spider’s thread simple shape no forking fingered hand golden spinning blade in angled early light last night’s descent caught mid-flight upon a fiber hold still I’ll untangle you help you land 10-13-21

Fall festival
day leans away from light mushrooms brown to rot gather high the firewood winter waits for solstice moon moss lies green upon the hill I think I’ll rake some leaves 10-12-21

High, narrow ledge
high, narrow ledge fire behind net below ready to jump – no wait – needing to jump he wonders if the last jumper was smaller than him holds his breath shuts his eyes steps into space 10-12-21

Celtic Dawn
Blue heron, maid of mist It’s been a while; where have you been? Shadow wades far shore, spreads wings Rises up, lands, stalks grass near shore Coffee grows cold in cup I stand frozen; please, stay Heron rises up, again …and flies 10-10-21

another pre-dawn haiku
sit in wet chair and last night’s rain will kiss your ass you will pray for sun 10-6-21

Ode to a garden spider
October night Congeals jelly spirit Do you sleep Or just slow down? Morning light warms Swollen joints and jaws Death shroud wrapped Night fliers Invade dreams Await brunch Go suck the juice Of living day 10-5-21
