September sun shines /
through translucent oak leaves bathed /
with afternoon light.

Whispers
Thin clouds whisper words. /
Afternoon shadows my mind. /
Fall sun winks through trees.

Breathe out the mind’s chatter. /
Breathe, to say the least.

Still life, resting fruit, /

Orphan
Orphaned in my cell, /
ten thousand of who I am, /
bury my soul.

Still
Shirt draped over chair. /
Shadows trick my memories. /
You gone; me here still.
