This Quiet It Crackles
This quiet it crackles
Under our feet!
Leaf-rusty, nutty;
Not so discreet!

With all these mutenesses
Treed hereabouts
Autumn's shocked, stiffened
Bird, its song-bouts

Clearer heard, heart-echoed
Expressed twixt us
That harmonized for
Love's own chorus....

Dead Slow
A dead cat
there on the road.
A cat well known hereabouts;
tabby and bulgy with one ear floppy.

it used to hunt hedgerow birds
though I never saw it catch one.
It would hiss
when
it
missed.

Someone hereabouts
will miss it also.

Too slow it was,
and sadly now
forever
late....

to go or stay
or runaway
avoid delay

of my being here
of my being there
of leaving now
wondering how

of roundabout
of hereabouts
of this residence
a missing presence

in this empty house
in this empty mind
in making decisions
to just unwind

of being unable
to decide about
coming home
come home

to a empty house
with a empty mind
and not being able
to just unwind

to go or stay
or run away
without delay
