moving stealthily
between shadows and light
black-tailed deer
playing night games
with the motion sensor
= vespers of brief mortality =
tomorrow always waits
yesterday laments our swift departure
today is
but a brief encounter
lost in swirling steam

be war e
frosty old geezer
still sleeping around
with your pale children
in cold poppy fields

🌺
the silver years they spin
on lathes of heaven
so many slim saplings
they turned
to thin momentos

#ArmisticeDay #Remembrance #NeverAgain
🌺
the upstart man-child
a rocket in either hand
no head space for awareness
entailed by foul exhausts
and white acidic spume

under brazen skies
and one cruel falling star
their blood still holds the dry
stones
together

the tree
that grew forever
is a ponzi fever dream
wake up, my child
before your ending

do not be deceived
when I hold you in my arms
that fluttering you hear
is just the resonating fear
that you will leave

= harmonic emotion =
a swallow dances
through summer mosquitoes
old earth pirouettes
on pale wisps of starlight
strictly unnoticed
