On the wall
The body is gone. /
Prison is more than a place. /
Hope hangs on the wall.

See
See the fall evening /
reflected in the mirror, /
fading with the sun.

Seeds
Autumn seeds descend. /
Winter’s cold underworld. /
Spring’s ghost whispers hope.

Death
Death is an entry, /
a metaphor unfolding, /
a flower empty.

Silence
Fall leaves on a bench,
a pile of my yesterdays
all in dead silence.

Flash of inspiration
..
A flash of inspiration,
Showering the consternation
While trying to find usurpation
Because the damn thing won’t work.
..
Moments of contemplation,
Mental hiccups and gyrations
Have led to this perturbation:
Water and electricity to twerk.
..
The world in needed restoration
Could use so full lubrication:
Sweat, blood, toil – an aggregation
Exploding with a jerk.

Cravings
Halloween evening.
The dead amongst us this hour
crave “sweets” to devour.

Fright
Writer up all night /
succumbs to his story’s fright — /
no end in sight.

Once
Once leaves flew above. /
Now, they gather here below, /
death waits on the wind.

Brushy Mountain
Watchers and watched speak /
Memories wet and cold as /
A Saturday rain.
