outdoors – Page 2 – Selected haiku

1 September 2021

neighbor, nude and fur-
-ry and rain-wet, nuzzles my 
knee with their whole face

slug considered on-
trend cicada dinner when
Brood X emerged, died

on path near Lake Anne 
Plaza, doll counts leaves and hours 
without their person

admiring Robert
Simon: an ally sitting
tall, beyond the grave

two chairs becoming
one. are they in love or in
the Voltron fandom?

did I ask my dad

to photograph me in tree

pose on a log? yes.

neighbor let us take

log pieces, gift from them and

storm that knock’d down tree

seen in twenty eight-
-teen: a rather large mushroom.
I did not eat it.

young goose family
surveys artificial
lake that they call home

inhaled all the grass

pollen while identify-

-ing. I’m allergic.
