9 Haiku

Biking before dawn—
scratching of a dry leaf blown
across the asphalt

Dawn: climbing the stairs
out of the subway station—
giant harvest moon!

Warm evening churchbells—
in the back of a pickup
a man is napping

*

Morning commuters—
squatting on a power line,
raven cleans his feet

A puff of milkweed
climbing the noon sky—small
as an airplane, then gone

Parrots shriek at dusk
from their hotel courtyard cage—
my wine’s rather sour

*

Beware the black foot
of an ant on a mountain
many miles away

Religious statue—
crouched on one knee, searching high
heaven for a god

Trying to escape
the harsh light, in the cool grove
we seek the sunshine
