Morning fog
Sun wears morning fog, /
peeks from behind damp fall trees. /
Light and thoughts refract.

Fall fire

Spices, and secret sauce meld /
Into a fall fire.

Brains
If I had my brains /
I’d share some of them with you. /
I’ll keep an eye out.

Not a curse
Get vaccinated. Wear a mask.
Neither are difficult tasks.
Do it for yourself and your friends to see.
Show compassion and responsibility.
It’s not a trick and it’s not a shame.
Treat yourself and others the same.
Kindness and courtesy are not a curse.
Being sick or dead would be far worse.
Rise up now and do your part.
A mask and a shot are moral places to start.

Shadow
Shadow has no grip, /
but can hold you anyway, /
and never release.
