Anointed
Sunflowers shed. /
Golden petals fall on leaves
anointed by death.

“Remembering”
Remembering
Even in fixed death /
there is the wounding beauty /
of remembrance.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Sun—.”
Sun—
Sun— fading light and /
flower too soon meet their fall. /
Seeds of night and death.

Embrace
Iron bars may not a /

Embrace you forever.

“Adorn”
Adorn
Death bends the flower, /
its brown shroud draped where life bloomed. /
Earth adorns its grave.

Photo finish Friday: “Summer’s passing”
Summer’s passing
Bare heads hang empty, /
stalks and leaves brown and crispy. /
Spiders claim briskly.

Even
From the root of death /
life blooms, maybe foolishly, /
but never in doubt.

“Death”
Death
Death is an old skin, /
an exoskeleton shed /
only in passing.

Photo finish Friday: “Skeleton of memories”
Skeleton of memories
Winter killed our tree. /
Don’t know if it was before, /
during, or after /
your death. Dead limbs hang barren: /
no buds, no leaves, no cherries. /
Skeleton of memories.

“And”
And
Death and sleep and love. /
One comes, one goes, one remains. /
Legs of a broken stool.
