My neighbor says
oh, your gate is painted green
and you got your windows washed
what else is going on over there,
what else are you guys having done?
A package appears on the front steps.
He texts me as he always does.
He really ought to text me
when there’s not a package on the porch.
an owl returnsto the cedar duskfall
(Contemporary Haibun 19.2, Summer 2023)
