“Empty exit”

Empty exit

Music made with tears, /

dissonance flows over me. /

Words clang: bullet, heart.

“Dog walk”

Dog walk

A fall walk at dusk, /

tethered to the edge of light, /

two dogs and me.

Last chance

Toward the waning sun /

the October sunflowers /

aim their last chance blooms.

Night light

Pale light, pole light. /

Moon light, sliver in the night. /

Sun light far from sight.

“Upside down”

Upside down

Breakfast upside down. /

The mantis does not care and /

neither does his prey.

“Ghosts”

Ghosts

Fall daylight declines. /

Flaring houselights arise: ghosts /

of incomplete time.

Is death life’s ghost or /

“Death”

Death

Death blames not itself; /

it caries forth its duties /

and bears its burden.

While others wither, /
