September 10 poetry prompt
The key kept our secret hope but hope turned into a funeral.

They asked for silence
so the dead could speak.
We bowed our heads.
Nothing.
Which was awkward,
considering how many of us
had killed them.

Sale of the century so I thought
my memories up for auction
at a decent price
sold by the kilogram
a few good ones
some bad ones
now I feel cheap and overlooked

Shay saw a baby elephant skidding to a stop just before careening info an exploding landmine.

Lan saw a caterpillar man on a motorbike, plowing over grasslands, shoulder epaulets flying.

The matchmaker saw a perfect match.

Fall Gown

Busy squirrels behave like thieves,
tucking gems into the sleeves
of lovely dresses made of leaves
that Mother Autumn Nature weaves.

What’s left?

Memories of accomplishments
both large and small;
Plans for what’s possible
in the time that is left;
Disgust for the greedy
and empathy for the needy,
swinging like a pendulum between;
A winding down time;
Each day a treasure or curse;
It’s all up to me.

Leftovers

At the end of day
the light leaves without a sound.
What remains is small—
a dent where somebody sat,
one warm cup, and what went unsaid.
