7 September 2021 (moth)

a dagger moth

hangs under the porch light

summer’s end

6 September 2021 (contact)

a contact lens

balanced on my finger

morning dew

5 September 2021 (cranefly)

morning chill

at the porch light a cranefly

the size of my hand

4 September 2021 (mid-life)

mid-life crisis . . .

unable to throw out

my box of mix tapes

3 September 2021 (errands)

morning errands

we stop three times

for crossing turkeys

2 September 2021 (stars)

summer stars

beyond the streetlights

thousands of years apart

1 September 2021 (green tea)

green tea in a can

the way this summer

has gone

31 August 2021 (last day)

last day of August

letting the calendar

linger in summer

30 August 2021 (end)

end of August

our windowbox flowers

block out the sky

29 August 2021 (bonfire)

late summer bonfire

an owl calls in the dark

beyond our stories

28 August 2021 (frog)

haiku gathering . . .

in love

with the tiny tree frog
