deep green grass & trees
beneath the waxing moonlight—
a midnight dog walk

third week of summer—
the neighbor’s sunflowers grow
taller every day

the row of townhomes
in the old farmers wheat field—
a rusted tractor

thoughts about freedom—
a big, yellow butterfly
floats above a hedge

a fly in the room
the chicken clucks to announce
that she’s laid an egg

early July now—
the first rays of today’s sun
behind the landfill

the Zen Dada of
Shinkichi Takahashi
the buzz of a fly

into the sunrise—
the rhythmic clicks of the dog’s
nails on the sidewalk

on a moonless night
I walk the dog in darkness
light from my smartphone

the dog eats long grass—
the curly dock weeds along
the ditch have tuned red

a midnight dog walk
the more I write these haiku
the more stars I see

just before sunset
the hens eat corn & apples
I smell dryer sheets

the hot dog lies down
on the cool tile floor downstairs
an evening bird chirps

I say morning prayers 
three rabbits in the alley
watch me walk the dog

Alley between East Simpson Street & East Cleveland Street

I scratch my forearm 
two squirrels chase each other
around a tree trunk

on this longest day
the hens have enjoyed themselves 
now oats & apples

the field is now gone
& the yellow yarrow, too —
new house construction

first day of summer 
days will start to grow shorter
& this makes me sad

the buzz of a fly
& the chirps of a cricket —
the dishwasher’s hum

the last night of spring —
a fly’s buzz, a cricket’s chirps
here in my bedroom
