touching heaven
the snow topped mountain
and the church steeple
crickets―
why are you
silent tonight?
midnight rain―
among thunder and lightening
frogs sing

At
the scheduled station
seasoners that commute
deal with grim-aces
clambering over many years
exhausted endeavors
fall pray to melancholic self-esteem
cold winter winds
in emotionless wedlock
chill weary bones

Born

Hide
n' go seek
Afternoon stroll
beneath canopied trees
a memory stirs ―
laughing little boys chant
Ollie Ollie Oxen Free
letters
a sentinel birch
its mottled bark discarded ―
letters to the earth
summer
warm blooded reptile
squeezes out its prey ―
winter is devoured
