windy night
the howl of a dog
from somewhere
sunless morning
sweeping the desert dirt
into a cloud
north wind
my nose running faster
than my feet
orange clouds
a taste in my mouth
of dirt
blue skies
little birds beneath
the date palm
Iraqi night
satellites prettier
than stars
witching hour
music laced with
the whir of a treadmill
bunker time
a fly on the wall
squashed
desert moon
tilting the hour glass
with a sigh

that's a nice series of haiku, thanks for sharing
What a great set of haiku linked together to tell a story. I really enjoyed how you lead the reader through the night into day and back to night.
