Man stalks the monster /
An amphibious reader /
Halloween stories.

“Forgiveness”
Forgiveness
Every fall a death /
bright moments of sadness /
and quiet forgiveness.

Color climbs to the sky. /
Fall red brushing the heavens. /
Soon to paint the earth.

Be not tomorrow. /

The future has no eyes.

“Solitary”
Solitary
Cool, solitary room, /
occasional swaths of light
and slow ceiling fan.

“Butterfly”
Butterfly
When I see a butterfly,
I think of you.
Not because you flutter
And onto other flowers move.
No, you are more steady
Than that,
A Gardner’s steady
In a wide brimmed hat.
Turning the soil
And amending where needed
So the butterflies will come
To the flowers seeded.
They know not the beauty
Of your touch.
Only the beauty
Of summer’s flower rush.
I think of you
When I see butterflies,
Fluttering up and around
Reaching for the bright blue sky
Then swooping back to your prepared ground.
.

“Sometimes”
Sometimes
Sometimes, what I see, /
heavy yet light in the sky, /
are moments of you.

“Mischievous”
Mischievous
Fall’s dappled sunlight /
mischievously highlights /
a gray and white cat. /

“Window dressing”
Window dressing
Brown leaves on window, /
curled into an empty grip. /
Summer’s embrace gone.

Canopy
Trees and clouds above, /
canopy over the street. /
Shadows dance below.
