Camping

between RV’s

they share courteous nods-

neighbours for one night

Haiku of the day

Picture: sxc

a gust of wind

tousles a sea gull’s feathers

inviting it to fly

the packing boy

yearningly watches them go –

white sneakers

a dragonfly dances
over the lucent surface
the koi doesn’t look up

‘So, how have you been?’

ten years after high school

an old friend reaches

for the same cereal box

and for the same sentences

alone on the shore

a woman tosses a stone

she strokes her white scalp

their eyes meet

once again for a brief glance –

flirt in a traffic jam
