“Ghosts”

Ghosts

Fall daylight declines. /

Flaring houselights arise: ghosts /

of incomplete time.

“Brittle”

Brittle

Dry September blooms — /

dead, brown, and brittle bouquet — /

your dark beauty shines.

“Leaf”

Leaf

The green drains away. /

The leaf dons its brittle coat, /

and waits for fall’s touch.

humans made you a hero /

and you were unlucky.

“Find”

Find

Find the green pepper, /

spotted with August raindrops, /

ripened and waiting.

Slowly

Slowly in August /

the petals fall and then wants /

and needs are one.

hide the predator.

Life

Do flowers lament /

as they die or do they laugh /

with life’s transience?
