haiku 415

prairie –
wind turbines seem
to grow wild now

wind bringing
tomorrow’s snow
rattles windows

before dusk
two birds perch
on a golden arch

kitchen floor
creaks under
cat’s paws

briefly lit
three raccoons meld
back into the darkness

in lieu of her
missing wedding ring
a mood ring

thirty years later
small college town and I
both somewhat larger

steakhouse party –
birthday boy gets skateboard
for carryout

reclaiming lost joy
after the divorce –
carrot cake

white-knuckle flier
scared enough for us both
I relax
