End of November

Hickories have turned,
Against the no-color sky,
Bight lemon yellow.

Bright sun through droplets
Reveals a dazzling forest  
Of sparkling small trees.

Eclipse

Red-orange darkness
Glows with mystery behind
Black silhouette trees.

December haiku

The forest, softened
By the drifting morning fog, 
Slowly awakens.

Morning

Tiny bell flowers,

Each with one bright water drop,

Are glowing through fog

December Drear

Hickories glow bright;

Summer’s sunshine yellow saved,

For this gloomy day.

Dark Dance

Straddling fault lines,
We dance above the abyss.
There is no safety.

Heavy, The Air

Heavy, the air.
Weary, the trees
Whisper their despair.
Invading miasma
Of crawling dreams,
Drifts, dense
With unremembered songs.
Heat oppressed,
Unseen Loa cry.
Intensely sweet
Their unheard wails
Are entwined,
Tangled,
In blue mist.
Eerie soup flows,
Thick with voiceless
Voices filling
Unrequited voids,
Empty of regard.
Leaves droop,
Breathless.

Warm

.
In the silvered night
Silent shadows
Keep pace
Beside me.
Bears, wolves,
Coyotes
Melt into
Changling trees,
And full moon
Flowers.
My fear
drifts away
In the silky
darkness.
I follow,
whimpering,
Searching
For the familiar.
Blackness
Covers me
In flowing waves
Of remembered
Grief, warm
And sweet as
A lovers vows,
Withheld.
