The Bag Lady

Blogging:

Thursday, probably my least loved weekday, well maybe Tuesday…weather changing so it’s an early cloudy cool atmosphere which makes staying under the covers a little longer very inviting. Then the idea of a warm latte crosses my mind and I’m up! The brain automatically showers, dresses, and makes coffee and then after a sip or two, I start to read, hoping some clever comment will rise to the surface. This rarity brings awareness and now I’m fully awake.

The New York skyline beckoned her, but it was the compelling feeling to visit the September 11th memorial that made her go. So many people lost. How can a structure hold the lives and memories of such hateful acts? She went, although tears flowed, as did many from others also visiting the site.

safety net needed

hide under the wood tables

it will do no good

deadly streaks will find you there

no shelter from downing blaze

Huck ran ahead, seemingly disturbed as he would stop and listen, stop and listen. Sue wasn’t worried because he was with her; she had her backpack and phone and he would help her if needed.

Sue had been delayed about a mile back because of a huge car accident that covered the road. She and Huck tried to hurry by, not wanting to see anything.

Now she listened, too, also hearing a noise on her right side, what Hulk must be listening to. Suddenly a man stepped out, covered with blood and limping badly. “Can you help me?” He asked her but then took a long glance at the dog. Hulk started to growl. Sue decided not to help and told Hulk to run and she pedaled away fast. The man did not follow.

The next day the newspaper reported that “a man caused a fatal accident and ran away. The police have not found him yet.”

It was a sleepless night as Sue locked everything up and settled in with Hulk.

For today’s Haibun Monday, you are invited to create a haibun about September and a special moment you experienced during this month or are looking forward to.

The prose can be narrative, lyrical or terse and the ku can be either a three-line haiku or a monoku (haiku in a single line). You can have alternating blocks of prose and verse, as long as the total word count does not exceed 250 words.

A birthday month for me, I can still smell scents of school days on the breeze and memories flood of autumn leaves and beginning again.

September leaves fall

familiar flavors blossom

renewed energy to task
