Each cough
Self conscious
Creating disturbance
Where peace
Should reign
And then think
Of the germs
Launched forth
Looking for a
New host.

Neruda’s poems
Make my heart sing
His words echo
Through my soul
Light Moves Across The Firs
Sunlight’s fading fast
Moving across the grand firs
Gray clouds up above
Light Moves Across The Firs
Sunlight’s fading fast
Moving across the grand firs

Last Day Of School
This last day of school
Enjoy this summer of rest
Each fall brings changes
The last day of school brings some melancholy thoughts. Lots of lasts today, followed by a bunch of firsts. For my house, middle school ends. The little boy who once lived in my house is taller than me. Joyous stuff, really, yet tinged with sadness v
Changes, so many, a constant string; such is life, I guess.
Night Gently CallingÂ
Night gently falling
Slumber’s insistent demands
Speaking to me, too
This MondayÂ
Summer’s heat is here
Children nearly done with school
Silent, save for crows
The Forest GhostÂ
Silently through trees
The majestic forest ghost
Immense and stealthy
I drove through this townÂ
Historically Floridian
Just after duskÂ
Children biked pastÂ
To safe securityÂ
Of electric lightingÂ
Dinners, cleanliness
And the dreamsÂ
Of being belovedÂ
Yellowish glowÂ
Flows from glassÂ
Interrupting the night’s
Dark embrace.Â
I wonder whatÂ
Such sensationÂ
Feels likeÂ
Defeating GermsÂ
Just feeling fatigue
Today my body battles
Outside is sunshine
