#ant

cold night---
an ant creeps
under my foot

#dance

the party is over---
silently the leaves
dance to the wind

#spider

under my desk---
a spider builds
its own wires network

#high

down town
after hours---
high heels echoing

#sunset

sunset---
a cricket
sounds lonely

#woman

the woman who
moved next door---
gets many late night callers

#school

friday morning---
a school kid
yells: "I don't want to go"

#tail

hazy evening---
a distant light
has a tail

#cup

street soccer---
practicing
for the next world cup

#chili

chili dinner---
a heart-burn
cooked by a heart-throb

#rain

heavy rain---
an open umbrella
floats down the street

#worm

on the floor, the paper string
from a Hershey's kiss---
acting like a worm

#moon

a drunk raises
his bottle and winks---
a half moon

#combs

morning stillness---
she combs
her hair

#bat

dense fog---
a bat can't see
where he's going

#cage

behind me---an old lady
carrying an empty
bamboo cage
