crescent moon and fog —
my dog searches the backyard
for a place to pee

golden gate night fog
pulsates with booming colors.
happy birthday, bridge

(haiku 20120527)

pulling weeds reveals
half a dozen garden snails
suddenly homeless

crescent moon at dusk —
there are some friends
I’ll never see again

girl leaves the market —
bottle of syrah for her,
friskies for the cat

after days of fog
mount sutro visible again —
how I’ve missed her!

san francisco fog
condenses against the trees,
drips down same as rain

mission beer garden —
ancient tamale lady
among the hipsters

(haiku 20120520)

working in the yard
such back-breaking drudgery
such wonderful peace

(haiku 20120519)

as I leave the store
the same homeless woman asks
“NOW you got some change?”
