Fractured

Face turned toward the light, /

sunflower leaves catch its shade, /

fractured by sunlight.

Each life is lived /

in the uncertainty of /

the hour of its death.

“Alone”

Alone

Evening fire descends. /

Heavy clouds hang over roofs. /

Sun goes home alone.

“Death”

Death

Death blames not itself; /

it caries forth its duties /

and bears its burden.

Canyon in the sky — /

carved by moisture, dust, and wind, /

eroded by rain.

“Cat’s eye”

Cat’s eye

Cat’s eye with the fence, /

green as the summer lichen, /

focused as the dark wood.

Old black and white cat,

stray as the descending sun,

pauses for a meal.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Squirrel”

Squirrel

A feast of old bread /

the squirrel appreciates, /

wary as I watch.
