“Obit”

Obit

Acorns on the road,

misshapen to the moment,

obit underfoot.

“Recedes”

Recedes

September sun shines /

ripening late tomatoes /

as the Earth recedes.

“Bee”

Bee

A bee stops by, /

maybe as confused as I. /

No bud here to try.

“Reflection”

Reflection

Images appear /

as I stare at the window. /

All are moment’s past /

carried through time by a light /

empty of your memory.

“Fall”

Fall

Stretched out and relaxed, /

cat lies across the railing, /

empty as the fall.

“Eyes”

Eyes

From the dark, eyes peer /

into the rising, warm day. /

Questions fall like leaves.

“Others”

Others

Sartre once said /

Hell was other people. /

He was not alone.

“Transition”

Transition

Leaves cluster below /

driven earthward by fall rain. /

Crowning the cool ground.

Unread

Fortune, no fortune /

no future in my cookie /

my cookie unread.

“Remains”

Remains

Dead sunflower head, /

ashtray for the shells left by those /

feasting on your life.
