waiting on the sun-
geese fly before purple clouds
embroidered in gold
–
reflections-
golden koi
slowly pass
Category: Life
Homeless
alone on the street
with scarcely a backwards glance
from the passers by
–
three threadbare coats-
his breath still clouds
the autumn night
Regret
living in this house-
a shrine to your past regrets
and those yet to come
–
low tide-
finding sea glass
and jellyfish
Change
my back turned to you-
pretending to be asleep as
you climb into bed
–
angry clouds-
blue skies
forgotten
Humanity
we’re only human
well, some of us anyway
the rest who can say?
–
under the covers
alone with
my mistakes
Fog
early morning moon-
fog nestles in the valleys
and clings to the leaves
–
moonrise-
gravestones hidden
in the mist
Carts
an old wire pushcart-
she sits alone on her bench
surrounded by birds
–
under the bridge-
her shopping cart
full of treasures
Lost
walking the highway-
seems I lost myself while I
was looking for you
–
sandstorm-
the mirage
an oasis
School
an open textbook-
daydreams try to tease me through
an open window
–
blank paper-
hammers pounding
from the wall clock
Cemetery
softly falling rain-
wandering through the graveyard
in the dead of night
–
overcast-
reading the details
of those long dead
