“At home with a good book”
I wanna go home
where the buffalo roam
all about the loam,
and the troll and the gnome
eat crumpets from a comb
and the strumpets of Rome
read erotica from a tome
and wait for you at home
where the fun’s allowed to roam
wild as strumpets on a comb
and crumpets on the loam
and buffalo with a tome
thundering about the streets of Rome.
I wanna go home.

Fall leaf
The fall light declines. /
The fading leaf catches /
the evening shadows.

Whisper
Falling leaves of fall /
whisper their dying refrain: /
winter is coming.

Hanging
Hanging with the dead, /

Autumn descends
Old leaves and lost light, /
days of autumn descend on /
young cat and stone bench.

Seasonal waters
It is the season. /
I drink from the mouth of death /
to quench my parched bones. /
Though I shall never be done /
for death now flows forth from me.

Caress
Sky touches nothing /
yet still caresses the Earth’s /
all-embracing beauty.

Fall songs
Listen to the rain /
of leaves and the songs of birds; /
symphony of fall.

Green eye
The green eye of fall /
spies from between the gate slats, /
crouches with the leaves.

Hidden
Hidden in each leaf /
is the chance to do good — /
if you can find it.
