in just one breath
last leaf falls
sky opens wide --




* * *



harvest time
bees in final delirium --
then the blue of deep sleep

Last Rose
original photography by poet




mellow light
warming petals
the last rose - -





10/19/09





slender hoops

bent birches --

not easy to be caressed by snow and ice




(we had a freak snowstorm yesterday -- October 18!)




10/14/09




the patchwork of melody

holds a trundling shuffle that
recalls dusty roads
of tired limbs coping --




10/2/09




sleeping behemoths
looming large --
the mountains!
