The Heron's Nest
a haikai journal ... 

afternoon heat
the beggar’s book
without a cover

mountain ginko
all the haiku
a little breathless

forest fringe
one fallen leaf
changes the landscape

harvest moon–
the dog brings
a dirty sock to bed

cold rain
one squirrel backs another
to the branch’s end

twilight–
three magnolia seeds
left in the pod

autumn wind
mustangs sniff
at the dry waterhole

harvest moon
the silver trunks
of dead trees

detox unit–
the apple leaf curls in
from both sides
