August 1: Kitchen
sink full of dishes -
from the open window
flies swarm in
Kitchen:
Cat on the counter,
Dog at my feet, tail wagging,
Come you two, let’s eat!
doing the dishes
in the kitchen sink
my daily zen time

dishes
in the sink
maybe tomorrow
You can listen to this haiku and another from Jack Kerouac

August 2: Bedroom
the tussled sheets,
light pours through the window,
her scent - lingering
August 3: Living Room
Friday night TV
"American Gladiators"
- her mom calls the house
meeting the in-laws
gathered in the sitting room
like a tribunal
a TV room
the ideal place for growing
couch potatoes
up for auction
dining room furniture
house Mom's home no more
warm summer evenings
patio dinners
lasting 'till daybreak
Front Yard
Generations raise
the leaning picket fence posts -
pale, peeling, sad.
