Haibun

       A SATURDAY AFTERNOON      

      

Sitting in the patio I watch a chipmunk explore the potted geraniums then move on, disappearing back into the growth of weeds and trees beyond the bricks. He reappears on the mowed grass, scurrying one way, then another, as if undecided.

                                                            quietly alone–

                                                            bird calls for company

                                                            and a soft breeze

                                                                  tomorrow will sort itself

                                                                   but now, this time is mine
