Musical autumn leaves in slashes and swirls.
Flowing around me, making melodic curls.
Titters and skitters from mischievous squirrels,
What is more magical than September oak twirls?

A leaf weaving its way
down a flowing stream
skitters windswept 'cross
an autumnal lawn
Once detached from a twig
its life far too brief
teasing undying belief
~ as green turns to grief

The music laughs
piano thoughts
the tiny bird alive you caught
skitters wild across the keys
I hide within your satin sleeves
crepe and crinkled fragile soul
crescendoes gather and enfold
mesmerize me and infuse
a scherzo written by a muse

were that i could speak again
the thoughts frozen in my head
the sun rarely burns me now
and the moon a haughty stranger
lifting its one eyebrow at me.
i stir uneasy in the concrete bowels
where skitters my fears
in halloween masks.
i think i'll yowl with the cats
on the roofdeck

a teeny tiny
mouse shyly skitters among
the crisp-dried leaves and deadfall
the teeny tiny
mouse believes that Spring has sprung
to free him from his burrow
when fragrant flowers
rise with soaring sleepy heads
teeny tiny mouse snuffles
as jasmine entices
teeny tiny mouse to run
free and scurry through the fields

startled fox turns with his fluffy tail down
His fur he wears like an amber kingly gown
Against the forest wall, he gives so much color
Hiding in the thicket is his older brother
His teeth have barely come in, he is a baby
Will he run off like a frightened deer? Possibly
He skitters away; now his beautiful tail is up.
He is a kit, I realize, not a dog, pet or a pup.

Modern landscaping amuses me no end
in mansions and cottages round the bend.
To folks who seem aesthetically cultured,
a well-mown lawn is still ill-manicured,
unless there are potteries strewn around,
cracked, skewed, partly sunken in the ground.
But pots breed bad skitters that fill your artery
with dengue through this silly pseudo-artistry.
So, next time you stare at your yard be wary:
Mosquitoes sting anyone dabbling in pottery.

the chaffing entropy
of self-maintenance
combing human features
into land-slips
predestined by its engineering
an electric screwdriver
skitters away
from its moving parts
dishes in the sink
soap suds wearing away
willow patterns
a domestic maintenance
erodes ceramic bones
they grow thin and break
replaced by tougher plastic bandages
we dry our hands
notice it is evening
turn on a vintage
hundred year old lamp
few things live longer
than times short shelf-life
