Jump
One small jump for friends. /
One last leap for summer fun. /
High above, stars wait.

Imagine, if you will…
Imagine, if you will,
A people so shrill,
They scream for their rights,
But are ready to kill.
Responsibility — not theirs
And they have no cares,
Except to fight,
When asked to community share.
To wear a simple mask
Is an onerous task,
And with all their might,
Many refused to get vaxxed.
They have their excuses
Or claim it’s all ruses.
It’s all government oversight
Or power abuses.
The hospitals are clogged,
And the cases are logged,
“Unvaccinated flight”
Leaves healthcare workers agog.
Now children are dying,
But GOP politicians are crying.
They say their dead right
To stop even trying.
Go get some invermectin,
Or your grandma’s canning pectin.
Take it tonight to fight
Left-wing insurrection.
It will rid you of parasites
And any sense of the real right,
Like civil responsibility,
To all lives: one and many.

Fall Decline
Brickwork and pumpkin:
Shadow, light, crumble, decay.
Dappling toward decline.

Windows
Wind eye to window. /
Open, closed, and shaded. /
Port to portal peek.

Here, gone
Rain drops fill buckets. /
Memories fill lifetimes. /
Here, gone, nourishing.

Adult coloring
Being an adult /
Means life with blurred colors /
Beyond the canvas edge.

Two cats
Two cats lay about, /
each in his own morning world, /
holding the moment.

Sun to sunflower /
petals like flaming rays, glow /
bright and embracing.
