Fan in the window
whirrs like a prop plane in the
throes of a lift-off.

A day of reading
spins out before me like yarn
before a cat’s paw.

The gas man cometh.
I make him avoid nesting
dove when he does work.

It’s hot and still out.
Glad I hacked at the hedgerow
yesterday. Virtue.

Clara home from school –
her crap filled the 4Runner.
Nice to have her home.

Glad I didn’t plant
the impatiens yesterday –
clear and cold last night.

Lovely morning walk –
watching mist rise off the creek
while hidden goose honks.

No haiku lately –
couldn’t think while cleaning house –
haiku hiatus.

Planted the pansies –
purple, white, blue, and yellow –
sweet flower faces.
