Ghosts and Failures

Tires we toss aside /

return to remind us of /

our ghosts and failures.

“Danse Macabre”

Danse Macabre

I stood stone still /

when the giant skeleton /

asked me to dance.

“Twilight”

Twilight

Cottage at twilight: /

clouds crown its roof, jogger’s footfalls /

speak against its walls.

Upside down

Breakfast upside down. /

The mantis does not care and /

neither does his prey.

Photo finish Friday: “Old cat”

Old cat

The old, stray cat sleeps

on the dry September grass.

Brittle leaves and dreams.

September evening /

breathes in the day’s last embers, /

breathes out its lost dreams

Fall light and shadow, /

waiting on their prey.
