Darkest Dark Before Dawn

Oct10

In the woods
Tiny sparks
Here  
Then there
A trick of my eyes
The fungi singing 
Little ones playing 
Faye lights 
The Veil 
Becomes translucent 
I watch 
And wonder

December Drear

Dec17

Hickories glow bright;

Summer’s sunshine yellow saved,

For this gloomy day.

Dissonance

By the riverside,

We walked, myself, and three dogs.

The dogs were content.

Hunger

A song never sung
Was silenced by an owl’s
Whispered hunting flight.

Do You Remember?

Winter rain falling,
Heavy, on the metal roof,
Brings back memories.

Ending

May14

Convulsing
In paroxysms
Of grief
I have
Become
My own
Grandmother
Deceased
Long ago
Alone
Watching
Water flow
Ancestor
Mothers
Whispering
Our lives
Are now
Your
Daughter
Sorrow
Dismissed
By yowling
Pain
