On Another

 

Side of the road—
the flat tire is placed
against the car.

An old broken poplar
leans hard on another.

The senior gent
raises a knobbly cane—
passing bus.

Moving On

 

A bear scrounges
on the steep hillside—
shriveled berries.

Vase of dried roses—
good times, now passed.

The scent of leaves
burning in the backyard—
oil drum.

As They Sleep

 

A bright half-moon
as I start the early shift—
vacant street.

Empty Doughnut shop—
a police car rolls up.

A full moon
rises behind an oak—
leafless branches.

Tiny Voices

 

Dusk deepens—
the first tiny voices echo
across the neighborhood.

Carved autumn gourd—
a candle lit in its head.

Porch light—
a werewolf's face reflects
in the glass door.

Crossing Overhead

 

A high-flying jet
intersects honking geese—
southward bound.

His toy airplane again
misses the old cat.

The police chopper
circles back overhead—
dead of night.
