Summer’s passing
Bare heads hang empty, /
stalks and leaves brown and crispy. /
Spiders claim briskly.

Leaf
The green drains away. /
The leaf dons its brittle coat, /
and waits for fall’s touch.

Life
Do flowers lament /
as they die or do they laugh /
with life’s transience?

Raspberries
Collected at dusk, /
