through the forest glen
long ribbons of water flow
over time worn stones
–
white water-
children’s laughter
in the froth

Rain
the end of the rain-
I pull back layers of clouds
to reveal the stars
–
petrichor-
storm clouds
in a puddle
Birds
a mackerel sky-
skeins of canadian geese
flying overhead
–
routine commute-
cardinals cross
my path
Anniversary
a towering oak-
our initials in a heart
carved into the trunk
–
sunset park-
the bench where
we first met
Missing
the bathroom door locked –
water covers the threshold
soaking the carpet
–
echos in the hallway-
your phone goes
straight to voice mail
Sunlight
a warm rain ended-
softened sunlight drizzles down
to the forest floor
–
dawn breaks-
sunlight arrives
unannounced
Eclipse
encroaching darkness-
a blue moon wanders across
the path of the sun
–
approaching night-
a bat flies across
the moon
Payment
one thing is certain-
with the taxes completed
l just wait for death
–
lights dim-
a life’s debt
repaid
Bread
dark basement staircase-
the heady scent of baked bread
wafts down from above
–
golden light-
brown buttered toast
and black coffee
Spirit
passing the graveyard-
a pale white lady rises
from tendrils of fog
–
solemn silence-
hands clasped
in a circle
