Haiku (maybe)

           *
old Jewish graveyard

red-brick gate
red boots dance the slabs

            *
sun-warmed creatures
impossible to catch
western fence haiku           

            *
song sparrow
foundering
in goldenrod
            
           *
bones and fur
white
butt tufts

           *
nesting squirrels 
do it
under my garage roof

           *
in my tent
the ground itself
brings the party to me

           *
puddles 
on the climbing path
caked shoes

            *
birch diamonds
breathe
I stumble on the path

            *
red wing 
blackbirds ring 
their telephones
