Others
Sartre once said /
Hell was other people. /
He was not alone.

“Transition”
Transition
Leaves cluster below /
driven earthward by fall rain. /
Crowning the cool ground.

“Oh, Monday”
Oh, Monday.
Oooh, Monday.
Oooh, Moonday.
Oooh, Moanday.
You come and you slay me.
Sunday is not done,
Not gone with the setting sun,
But there you are once more
Scavenging at my door.
A beggar with a broken smile.
You promise to be for only a while,
But your 24-hours pass
As if the sands stuck in the hourglass.
Oh, Monday.
Oooh, Monday.
Oooh, Moonday.
Oooh, Moanday.
You come and you play me.
I fall for your tattered lines.
I hope ruthlessly for the sublime.
But, Moanday, you are there,
A rumbled love I no longer share.
You once held such promise,
But now you are always upon us.
Hanging low over the weekend,
Always about to offend.
Oh, Monday.
Ooh, oooh, sad Monday.
I go to bed and sigh
As I wave the weekend goodbye.
Ooh, oooh, Moonday.
Ooh, oooh, Moanday.

Remains
Dead sunflower head, /
ashtray for the shells left by those /
feasting on your life.

Summer
Summer is ending /
and the sun’s pumpkin orange /
glow basks in cat’s fur.

into Earth’s embrace.

Either way, I am.
