Reston – Page 5 – Selected haiku

Kyp

taking a mid-day
constitutional, seeking
head pats, also snacks

levee inspector
wants to know where sandbags came
from, when they can leave

pre-storm twilight (not
a… midnight sun) near lake,
flowers among grass

before Isaias
landed, an orange sunset,
reflected in lake

hark, new mystery
berries! left them uneaten
(a road untraveled?)

has Pontus risen?
no, it’s a water feature
built into Lake Anne

is this lamp trying
to signal the UFOs,
like Allagash Four?

immature acorn
green promise of tree broken
now food for squirrels

does the cat laser
make a noise as it zaps, like,
feline hemorrhoids?

electrical box
buzzing with with activity:
spiders and their prey
