Moon obscured on high, /
passing through the August sky /
clouds veil, then goodbye. /

August
Ah, crap, August comes /
And I feel so incredibly dumb. /
I had plans to do so much, /
Now they lay piled, an incomplete bunch. /
I planned to travel, to go far, /
But did not make it beyond my car /
And to the chores that needed doing /
That had been brewing and chewing /
Up all my time /
Until the world sublime /
Has moved to August as it now stands /
School and promises hand in hand. /
Maybe next year I’ll visit a museum /
And to libraries — well, I can still go see them. /
Maybe check out a book and make plans /
To go, next May, to some far off lands.

Scents
Summertime bread /
expands the kitchen with scents /
slowly lost to time.

Early
Early are the winds /
when they are just a breeze /
building from a thought.

Icarus
Icarus, soaring /
between the sunflower and /
the sun, hoping.

Momentarily
Red among the green, /
the cardinal grips a limb — /
momentarily.

A British sentry cuts a lonely picture as he stands at his post at sunrise in France, March 1915.
Battlefield
Battlefield sentry, /
fearing with the sunrise that /
fog and hope will lift.

Author
Author, dear author, /
I relent, I repent, I plead: /
“Give me one more chance!”

One tries
One lies and one stands, /
cat in darkness, dog in light. /
Wonder and return.
