FIVE NIGHT HAIKU
by
Salvatore Buttaci
1
sidewalks harbor
footstep secrets
they will not confess
2
at dusk sun and moon
exchange places in the sky--
they nod in passing
3
if nights were voiceless
and all seasonal things slept
stars would be lonely
4
when the owl sleeps
despite the evening's stillness
he still has wisdom
5
when Canis Major
walks its paws across night skies
it bites a bone moon
