Photo finish Friday: “Fists”

Fists

 

Curled into dead fists /

brown leaves deny, then decay. /

Winter takes them in.

“Threshold”

Threshold

Today speaks decay. /

Memory echoes the past. /

Threshold whispers, “Why?”

“Waiting”

Waiting

Even in beauty /

Decay lives, carrying a /

Valise of tomorrows.

“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.

Haiku and photo: “Fall Decline”

Fall Decline

Brickwork and pumpkin:

Shadow, light, crumble, decay.

Dappling toward decline.

Haiku and photo: “Decay”

Decay

Decay touches all /

Arrives with kind indifference /

Grips with gray delight.

Photo finish Friday (and haiku): “End”

Collapse, decay, end: /

dissolving into its death. /

Fungus finds a home.
