haiku 535

one, two
threefourfive kits
then the mother raccoon

alone –
heart-shaped
rubber band

driving home –
new paint job
hides friend’s house

behind the trees
a nimbus of faux lightning –
fireworks show

humid day
choking on
firecracker smoke

late June
Independence Day
fireworks ignite

a look through the door
raccoon kit
makes eye contact

lunar eclipse
only a nimbus
behind the trees

first time back
only one masked
at the meeting

loaded sub
no extra charge
for the hair
