The Heron's Nest
a haikai journal ... 

steady rain
three vultures huddle
on a hayroll

a cold jar
of young eels
the moon in their eyes

wisps of fog
her red sweater
comes and goes

huge cedar
snow resifted
through hemlocks

day moon–
water runs slowly
over a floe

winter rain
the flow of ants
in the pantry

wind swirls
in the nursing home courtyard
a few dry leaves

deep winter
the old dog's shadow
lagging behind

false spring
cougar tracks
in moist sand
