“My cat”

My cat

Even as the world grows /

odd, my old cat still purrs and /

demands his dinner.

“The Old Man”

The Old Man

There was an old man who lived in a sign. /

His wife wouldn’t join him because she wouldn’t cosine. /

Now she lives adjacent to an empty hypotenuse. /

Her life a tangent somewhat on the loose.

“Old parchment”

Old parchment

Fall leaves touch sidewalk, /

plucked from a season’s fancy, /

curled as old parchment.

“Old coat”

Old coat

Time is an old coat /

worn thin in the pockets /

clutched for its memories.

Tumbling

Old cat and old thoughts /

arrayed on the windy lawn, /

with old leaves, tumbling.

Tomorrow somewhere /

His heart falling, /

Autumn descends

Old leaves and lost light, /

young cat and stone bench.
