Poem Category: All

Remaining leaves
the old oak more gold
in the setting sun.

Strange fruit in the mango tree
the dog guards
the cat’s escape.

Lingering
under the waterfall
a brace of lovers.

Summer is fleeting
another cicada
at the end of its shrills.

Cathedral closed
giddy with fear
the black bird’s long caw.

Park bench …
autumn so silent
I kick up the dry gold leaves.

I … of these hooked feet
silent out of sun and wind
hawks kill whom we want.

Rock climb
being alone
my car keys jingle.

Gold chalice
over the Host
the priest’s winy breath.

Eagle’s screech
an orange peel squeezed
into your face.
