  • My mother

    (for Mom) 

     

    My mother works into the night  

    and rises with the sun. 

    Her keyboard is a ghost 

    that haunts the house

    Moonlit Avenue

    On the moonlit avenue 
    half shadows and silhouettes 
    glide down shining pavement. 

    On the moonlit avenue 
    we glow like angels 
    our eyes glimmer like stars.

    These Nights

    Still air. Cool breeze. 

    The constant cacophony of insects 
    setting the scene for these summer nights. 

    Nights to reflect on 
    youth.

    Softly Falling Rain

    The rain falling softly calls me. 
    The rain falling softly draws me 
    in. 
    I like when the rain falls softly, quietly. 
    It suits my searching, silent
    soul.

    Tree in the Early Mourning

    Oh, look at the leaves. 
    Look at how they cry. 

    Look at how they tremble,
    Fragmenting the sky. 

    Look at how they remember 
    autumn breeze 
    and autumn nights.
