distant thunder
distant thunder
rolls over the hills
dancing with dreams

rickety bench
rickety bench
in the tree's shade-
looking at a book
I've never read
but have had for years

abandoned ball field

abandoned ball field-
finding myself listening
for sounds of children

looking inside
looking inside
rather than outside
in the dark,
dusty closets
in my mind

of your face in a croud

a cat walks
a cat walks
along the top of the fence-
moonlight

quietly hidden
quietly hidden
under the balcony
as the rain falls
not as brave as the birds
who hop on the grass

watching my children
watching my children
play together outside-
thinking
about them leaving me
and how far they will go

how slow time moves
how slow time moves
on days like this, the days
you've left us-
ignoring the sun,
hoping the darkness will come

the mourning sounds
the mourning sounds
of doves among other
birds chattering-
sadness finds a path
through the peaceful sunset

at a party
at a party
full of relatives
of all ages-
out the window, a stray dog
walks down the road

a wooden fence
a wooden fence
leans to the west
and the east,
rocking in the wind-
nature fights nature

tiring night
tiring night-
loud cicadas refuse
to tell me a poem

in the sunlight
in the sunlight,
reading forgotten letters-
is the warmth
from my memories
or is it just from the sky?

staring at saturn
staring at saturn
with a pen in my hand-
reaching beyond
my mortal limitation
with ink on paper

dressing up at dawn
dressing at dawn
with new expensive clothes
and old faded shoes-
the same conversation
each morning on the phone

car at the red light
car at the red light-
a couple argue loudly
in sign language
