Haiku- Autumn 2019

street band plays reggae

under a sun leaning down

where no one listens

saxophone buildings echo the blues

patio tables

empty in a cold wind

discussing rain

early frost--

me with two cats on the couch

just fine, just fine

an airplane banner

taking politics skyward--

that's superman

breathing whiskey

the last of autumn color

stripped from the oak

through the bare branches

the hospital now in full view--

coronavirus
