One
October
by
CX Dillhunt
These
trees on the edge
of
this prairie afternoon
walking
toward us
One
October goose
squawking
over your farmhouse
stretching
neck and sky
Grey
squirrel's tail glides
slides
rides with red-tailed hawk
across
neighbor's pond
Wild
turkeys prancing
under
those yellow maples
talking
turkey talk
Whole
October moon
hanging
out in cold old oaks
next
to stone silo
Empty
fields speaking
of
winter in our windy
haiku
here dancing
