life and death play out
on my coffee table day
by day petals fall

empty wishes piled
high like empty dishes but
do they fulfill us

a shade glimpsed from the
corner of my eyes turning
I find nothing there
Weary

weary to the bone
time that once lay before me
diminishes now
Comes far too soon

halls decked far too soon
man-made blooms, balls and lights grace
trees without meaning
Old things

old familiar tales
told and retold I know them
well but listen still
familiar endings
yet I wait for the last word
as if never heard
comfort found in old
friends like old shoes broken in
harbor from the storm

hazard all cutting
away the extraneous
endangered spring hides

a hot wind’s blowing
stirring soupy southern air
distant fall teases
Allegedly?

the alleged shooter
captured smoking guns in hand
allegedly killed
12 injured many
a real child of 6 lay dead
at the alleged’s hand
Where did it go?

the vision of could
should would once so clear dims
glow and aura gone
why and whither to
show me now that child’s eye view
someone put it out
I’ll take any clue
to reclaim that carelessly
lost gem from the wood
when the sun breaks through
its glimmer teases then clouds
hide my path again
