moonlight through a cracked window
a lily
on the floor

distant churchbell ...
is it so late?

dawn
the driveway covered
with crushed apples

the last tree with yellow leaves
                                                        shivers

rain
on the screen door
headlights

fallen leaves
a hawk
rises

cold summer night         woodsmoke         and lollipops

alone
in the house
a cough

sunlight
in my coffee cup
still dreaming

                  mosquito!
    mosquito!         mosquito!
                  mosquito!

twilight
in the rain
Christmas carols
