haiku 495

dry eyes
all my tears
in a bottle

unwelcome human –
raccoon herds her kits
off the porch

nearly midnight –
spare cat growls
at something she’s treed

new calendar page
time to pretend
this blog still lives

seasons pass
dad responds when mom
calls him by my name

pleasant night
before the storm –
train horn

rainy week
broken branches arch
over the sidewalk

4th of July –
cacophony
and fireflies

cloudy sunrise –
cat traps smaller cat
under my car

muggy night –
possums replace
raccoons on porch
