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.
