THE MOMENT (haibun)

small town

the shop sign says

cash only

I hear my breath, exhaling. The breeze picks it up with a bit of puffy down, twirling a vortex along a dusty pathway. A swallow circles the white fluff, whirling this way, then that, until in a suspended

split-second the swallow snatches it, flying quickly under the eaves of the deserted Bank building

and drops it into the nest.
