“Dreams”

Dreams

Fall light and shadow, /

dreams shine with distorted time, /

waiting on their prey.

“Ghosts”

Ghosts

Fall daylight declines. /

Flaring houselights arise: ghosts /

of incomplete time.

“Two chairs”

Two chairs

We shall find ourselves, /

two chairs by an ageless sea, /

folding in our names.

Brittle

Dry September blooms — /

dead, brown, and brittle bouquet — /

your dark beauty shines.

“Summer’s passing”

Summer’s passing

Bare heads hang empty, /

stalks and leaves brown and crispy. /

Spiders claim briskly.

“Leaf”

Leaf

The green drains away. /

The leaf dons its brittle coat, /

and waits for fall’s touch.

Find the green pepper, /

spotted with August raindrops, /

ripened and waiting.
