Moment
The mirror reflects /
a moment ago, but also /
a moment to be.

“Morning”
Morning
Squirrel chatters. /
Mockingbird trills three times. /
Cat purrs quietly.

“Their eyes”
Their eyes
Eyes pointed skyward /
Simulacra of wildlife /
Their souls breathing clouds.

“Where”
Where
Where does the heart go /
when fall turns Maple leaves red /
and sends the warmth home?

“Naked”
Naked
The sun sheds its light, /
turned earthward by the moon, /
naked under the stars.

“Death becomes you”
Death becomes you
Death becomes you, my dear.
Let me hold your hand so our selfie is clear.
Get my bare bones, they show me the best.
All that flesh and muscle — begone all the rest.
I’ll wear my cap. You wear your smile.
Don’t worry about missing teeth. It’s been a while.

“Fall flowers”
Fall flowers
Fall flowers, ground change /
temperatures grow downward /
light blooms slowly.
