Salutation

I stand up to you, /

Young cat said to Old cane. /

Old cane kept its lean.

“Shadow”

Shadow

Shadow has no grip, /

but can hold you anyway, /

and never release.

In the fall I grow /

the dead in plastic or /

quiet memory.

Moon above, street light /

Leaves limn with what’s bright.

Empty exit

Music made with tears, /

dissonance flows over me. /

Words clang: bullet, heart.

Sometimes, what I see, /

Fortune

Fuzzy bath fortune /

Or slip in the tub.

Etched against autumn, /

Lichen on the fence, /

Nature on man-made.
