Autumn, our dance, /
let us continue slowly /
beneath the low sun.

Jump

One small jump for friends. /
One last leap for summer fun. /
High above, stars wait.

Sheriff

Up in the blue sky /
the sheriff comes buzzing by. /
Four circles, then bye.

Unfold

The road, the sunlight, /
the promise in tomorrow —/
unfold with a map.

Endure

Minute by minute, /
if I can make the hours run, /
my heart might endure.

Shunned

The Sun slowly fades /
as the Earth tilts toward the stars. /
A lover’s kiss shunned.

Art is ageless /
and can fill expectations /
in any season.

Dust

The house and the world, /
the light and the shadow: /
dust troubles them all.

Changing, clinging

Leaves changing, clinging; /
Moon changing, clinging, too /
to Earth, to you, to me.

Pale

Pale full moon descends /
through the pale-blue morning sky /
and through my pale heart.

Sulfur Cosmos, /
invasive border crosser, /
wild along the road.

Fall

Stretched out and relaxed, /
cat lies across the railing, /
empty as the fall.

Possum

Fall night with possum, /
searching for leftover seed, /
discovers me, too.

Waiting

Empty park swings hang /
beneath white ripe clouds, waiting /
for chains to rattle.

Cat

No nude descending, /
only a cat stretching down /
for further pats.

Dust

The world turns its face /
to other things and your love /
to history’s dust.

Cirrus

Cirrus clouds paint wisps /
across the afternoon sky. /
Soft remains from storms.

Groundhog

Paused on my back deck, /
poised on summer’s edge, groundhog /
considers me.

Dawn

Dawn slowly eases /
schemes, dreams, and elder things, /
making sleep say goodbye.
