as October rains
send lives and mud
sliding into the...

Raindrops 
fall like nymphs
darting and dodging
twittering
elfin echoes
in camouflage
dancing 
on my face
skating

on my eyelashes
like liquid...

Cross-legged under a tree, surrounded by

Flowers in the garden;

The expression on his face fixed inwardly, Knowing, placid,

Be it Spring, Summer,...

And ruffled green, 
And white-capped eves,
On Silver Lake.
