“Box carred in”

Box carred in

Freight train before me. /

White car blocking my behind. /

Road to nowhere now.

“Light”

Light

Before the windows /

Shines the ceiling lamp, hanging /

Empty and yet full.

“Sentinels”

Sentinels

On the quiet stairs, /

holding hope for next Christmas, /

sentinels wait….

“Lichen”

Lichen

Pathways, walkways, walls — /

Lichen covered here and there. /

Brick, stone, wood, and dirt — /

Decay is Time’s only care. /

Taking down the now — /

Leaving pieces that we share. /

Pathways, walkways, walls — /

Leading onward, lichen dare.

“Waves”

Waves

Waves in the water, /

waves in the sky, waves hello, /

and waves goodbye.

“Unbidden”

Unbidden

Unbidden, Spring blooms, /

poking through neglect and pain, /

yellow and graceful.

“Tracks”

Tracks

All travel alone /

Each in a box car of flesh /

Whistling goodbye.

“Carried”

Carried

Shadow on the fence. /

Memories never still, /

Carried off by the sun.

“Morning”

Morning

Morning light divides. /

Shadows wander like false ghosts: /

here, dark, and then gone.
