There once was a writer of romance, /
Who left very little to chance. /
Her imagination /
Was only a way station, /
For her prose to cavort and prance.

One leaf
One leaf falls and then /
a thousand and ten thousand /
leaving fall to trees.

Fairy house
Shells of the ocean /
formed as a house for fairies /
Young hands mold magic.

Falling
Shadows, cane, and leaves. /
Sunlight falls through bare branches. /
Memories fall, too.

Leave
Fall red, the maple leaves /
surrender their Summer green. /
Too soon they will leave.

Need
Red lights strip the dark /
Sirens usurp the silence /
Need consumes the street.

Machine
Machine pushes onward, /
whispers its contrived hope, /
even in absence.

Step lightly
Raise your leg higher /
Keep your foot above your heart /
Step lightly on air.

Surgery
Surgery divides /
flesh, bringing forth life’s pulse that /
only the heart heals.

Tenuous
The web to the stars /
is grounded in those moments /
tenuous to touch.

Night
Night returns to dreams, /
dancing clouds across the moon, /
faint and feather light.
