To everyone in the U.S., Happy Thanksgiving.
I’ll be back next week.

Berries on a Tree
Now that the leaves have left
and the sun has faded,
now that the nights are cold
and your skin is coarse,
are you lonely?
Morning Walk
Walking at the blue hour of morning,
wet and cold and almost foreboding–
I hear the train in the distance…
It races past with a steamy, pulsating pace
that blows my red scarf onto my face–
I pause to pick up the terrified pup.
Garden Treasures
glossy pink and blue rocks
delicate greens
sweet little purple flowers
and one clear crystal marble
Defiance
Brittle, fragile reeds sway in the breeze–
soft seeds float away with defiance.
The Visit
It was a Saturday morning in early August–
we purchased you at the farmer’s market,
right outside the diner’s doors.
We had breakfast in that small town and
laughed while drinking strong coffee.
Later, leaving you in a vase on their kitchen table,
we said our goodbyes without realizing
the finality of that simple gesture.
Garden in the Fall
Soft, velvety shades of silver in the autumn garden–
the memory of your touch will linger in my mind
through the coming winter.
Wet November
Rain falls quietly on leaves–
grey skies embrace me
in the moist, cold dampness
of a wet November day.
Early Evening
Sunset daisy reaches for a little more light
in the early evenings of November.
Have a seat…
and tell me about your past–
tell me how you go about your days,
how you’ve gone about your life
in the frigid silence that halts my beating heart.
