The days are getting shorter

I want to go sit in a park
To look at the sparrows
As they peck the eyes
Out of the lawn

Sit alone to feel the touch

I want to be an old man
Thinking about those things
He didn’t do, with resignation
But no regrets

If I tighten hands
On the steering wheel & grind

Dead dude haiku

To take the short cut along
That rough dirt road — ski-d …

Dead duck haiku
Ambulance sirens
Somewhere — though not far away
Another dead duck
