haiku 531

humid day
choking on
firecracker smoke

Haiku has this rather fantasmagorical property: that we always suppose we ourselves can write such things easily.
– Roland Barthes

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

Star Wars Day –
fully inoculated
against covid

(No, this isn’t Star Wars Day. Yes, I should have posted this on Star Wars Day. Thank you for reading Catsignal.)

Venus
bright above
night-dark river

possum
tips rain-water bowl
for a drink
