A true patriot /
sees not only the flag, but /
the night approaching.

Disc florets
Within the one, many. /
Disc florets bloom and then seed. /
New sunflowers loom.

Threshold
Today speaks decay. /
Memory echoes the past. /
Threshold whispers, “Why?”

No return
It feels good, Beth said. /
She snapped off dead lily heads, /
dropped them to the ground. /
This evening, I did the same, /
but she did not return.

Street seen
I wore shadows.
She wore light.
We met in the street.
The breeze played at painting us together.
The sun declined to stay.
For a moment,
As the light faded,
raindrops dappled, and the breeze whispered,
We were as one.
