Toll
Winter takes its toll: /
leaves crunch, sun fades, memories /
fill the dark longing.

Still
The dog still wonders /
and, quietly, so do I. /
You are not alone.

Embrace
Light inside the bend, /
Moon in the crook of its branch. /
Tree embraces night.

Shadow
The dead leaf’s shadow /
reflects from the bottom /
of a pool of air.

Horizon
Another day flowers /
the horizon with colors /
soon dying to black.

Rhythms
Steady, deep rhythms /
calm the mind, quiet the heart,
breathe to right the leaf.

Wrinkled paper
Opening again, /
wrinkled wrapping paper. /
I hear it, too — rain.

Fading
A shield to the rain,
oak leaf upturned on the street,
fading on asphalt.

Whisper
Clouds drape the sunset. /
Fall reds and orange whisper /
of old homes and dreams.

Green eye
The green eye of fall /
spies from between the gate slats, /
crouches with the leaves.
