2022.11.13: urgency

fallen leaves, Nov ‘22

end time prophecies 
call to mind the preciousness - 
the gift of each day

2022.01.27: beguiling

that time of the night 
when the fierce howling wind stops 
and the highway speaks

2021.03.23: realm

visiting hometown
some places remaining the same
people rarely do

home is a place and a time
here and now for those awake

2020.07.15: permeating

all along the road
summer’s favorite color
sunflower yellow

2019.12.17: unspent

last night was his last
no farewells nor last regrets
just here and then gone

poignant reminder
tomorrow may be too late
things not said or done
