July morning 6 am

robin loses its grip on
the worm that wriggles

back into the coolly
moist soil made fast
by roots of clover

4th of July weekend

tanks, jets, fireworks
in a "Salute to America"

Boston--the birthplace
of liberty--officials report
sixteen shootings

Happy Haiga Day!

the atheist senator is
sworn in on a book of law

as an atheist writer
I suppose my choice would
have been a dictionary
