December quiet
save for Mr. Coffee
muttering in the kitchen
Month: December 2009
:
Christmas Day
placing poinsettias
on the teen’s grave
:
remembering
how she bent
as the bathwater ran
:
Kwan Yin
toppled over in the garden —
leaves gather
:
office party —
one glass of wine
the whole evening
:
the car shuddering
in the cold night rain;
leaving the county
:
cross country banquet — the coach runs on and on
:
the sound of rain
on freshly fallen leaves —
autumn ending
:
russet feathers
on chest-high grass;
the path widens
