He bickers and whines. /
One is eight or nine. /
One wears a red tie.

Cathedral
Nature’s stained glass bends /
light through lavender petals: /
Sunset cathedral.

Tall tale
The gravedigger says, /
As his needling wife’s unearthed, /
“It’s all a big yarn.”

Fall apart
Stand up; fall apart. /
Brain pops out, as does the heart. /
Night comes; we restart.

Undone
That ol’ evening sun, /

hope forgiven, then undone.

Bachelor’s Button /
growing by the road, waving /

Mother
Your garden whispers /
your name, unfolds your beauty /
