“From many”

From many

From many, one drops /

Earthward, away from the sky. /

No seeds in the sun.

“Silhouette”

Silhouette

Bare limbs silhouette

before a fiery dusk sky.

The sun hies to night.

Is their poetry /

in failure? Bleak winter sun /

pockets its promise.

“Possum”

Possum

One winter’s night /

a dish rattles; a possum /

scavenges cat food.

“Rattle”

Rattle

Clouds as spare change /

rattling in a gray pocket. /

Life is cold within.

Mockingbird

A mockingbird paused /

to quench a thirst and I paused /

to fill a memory.

“Goodbye”

Goodbye (from 2022)

Footsteps here and gone. /

What you hold you someday lose. /

What you embrace stays.
