a faint train whistle
passing by at 3 a.m.
. . . the only normal thing
in these pandemic nights
that makes any sense

Reckoning . . .
Note: This beautiful owl drawing appears on Pinterest, but I was unable to trace it to a specific artist. I am grateful to the unknown artist for putting this lovely piece ‘out there’ for others to view and use.
Night Winds … (haiga)
Published in Wild Plum, a Haiku Journal

A sudden glint … (tanka)
staring skyward
at the meteor shower
I brush away two fireflies–
a sudden glint
of new found love

Winter Night Sky (a tanka)

Starry Sky (c) Kayaga
how could the moon
show its face
without light
…how could the stars
sing us songs?
