Raspberries
Collected at dusk, /
raspberries in an old cap, /
makeshift evening food.

Latte-dah
Summer is over, so Starbucks declares, /
bringing forth their fall pumpkin wares. /
Temperatures still roiling across the US. /
When they will break is anybody’s guess. /
Hurricanes hit California and other coasts, /
but Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Latte Starbucks boasts. /
It may be 69 days until Halloween /
but this declaration seems self-serving and a bit obscene.

Reclaim
Up through the asphalt, /
the common sow thistle grows, /
reclaiming its home.

Ghost
Is death life’s ghost or /
is life’s impermanence /
the ghost of death?

Echoes
Flowers do not scream /
when they die, but their beauty /
echoes with the bees.

Eyes
Eyes on the flower, /
a triangular face turns /
and we both ponder.

Fractured
Face turned toward the light, /
sunflower leaves catch its shade, /
fractured by sunlight.

Alone
Evening fire descends. /
Heavy clouds hang over roofs. /
Sun goes home alone.

Death
Death blames not itself; /
it caries forth its duties /
and bears its burden.
