October

there is an intense 
ageless quality to an 
autumnal day in October 
that embraces the past, and all 
its wistful tenderness 
the present and its disturbing sameness 
and the future, with its unknown quantity 
of joy and sadness

Bus

Winshield wiper blades
on the windows of the bus
making rain music

Farewell

a parting of clouds
a farewell to the weather
we don't need more rain!

when i'm really old
will i smile when i 
see some lovely thing
or will i be sad?

Birds

on faint telephone lines
the G clef and Bass clef
birds waiting to sing

Sea

the smell of the sea
as good as a fish dinner
without the bill

Wake

the cars leave a wake
of water as they speed
along the busy highway

Movie

alone in the dark
yet surrounded by people
theater magic

Bells

the tower bells ring
but time moves 
more slowly now
i wait with the birds

Moon

the moon is mine tonight
from a little corner
of the room
i see it sheltered beneath
the bough of a tree
its full beauty is not diminished
by the smallness of the view
rather it is enhanced by
my feelings...
