The road
The road less traveled
at one time had to be built
before it was true.

Seasonal waters
It is the season. /
I drink from the mouth of death /
to quench my parched bones. /
Though I shall never be done /
for death now flows forth from me.

Way back
I see you see me.
Haircut mirror on the deck.

Twilight
Cottage at twilight: /
clouds crown its roof, jogger’s footfalls /

Old cat
The old, stray cat sleeps
on the dry September grass.
Brittle leaves and dreams.
