Morning cool

In the morning cool, /

on the feet of fall insects /

Death enters softly.

Puckered darkness

Puckered darkness sags /

heavy in the afternoon, /

masking the sunlight.

Husks

We are all broken /

husks, shells dead to living /

when we suckle hate.

Fall Decline

Brickwork and pumpkin:

Shadow, light, crumble, decay.

Dappling toward decline.

A face in the clouds /

reclining in evening sun /

brooding toward the night.

Shroud

Shrouded sun; rain comes. /

Rills flow to petals’ edges. /

Sunflower’s sun drops.

The bowl of the sky, /

Nourishing heaven and earth, /

Overflows with clouds.

Part of the morning. /

His moment or mine?
