Trains
down along the tracks-
in the distance the fog glows
with a passing train
–
a waiting owl-
the train echos
through the hollow

Sunset
warm evening colors-
wet oil paint dry bushed across
this canvas of sky
–
evening skies-
clouds blend into
the autumn canopy
Luna
the full predawn moon
resting above the changing
autumn canopy
–
evening chill-
the moon dressed
in alabaster
Midnight
staring at the clock
trying to understand the
cruelty of time
–
aching for sleep-
minutes collect
in piles on the floor
Fall
an autumn sunset-
the shadow of a goshawk
long on the meadow
–
oak leaves-
slipping below
a covered bridge
Moonlight
a cool autumn eve
the reclining crescent moon
asleep in the sky
–
a blue heron-
flying under
the misty moon
Eerie
I can’t sleep at all
visions of the restless dead
inhabit my dreams
–
moon shadows-
a raven robed
in cobwebs
Fish
a placid trout stream-
three old fishermen stand casting
amid the lilies
–
light rain-
three koi hide
under the bridge
Abuse
I hit a doorknob
or tripped and fell down the stairs-
I’m just so clumsy
–
an autumn eve-
the sky lit by
a house on fire
Nosferatu
crawling out of bed
passing by the hall mirror
my reflection gone
–
the dead of night-
awaiting your
invitation
