Let the flood sweep
one away — out
of the shallows,
into the deeps.
Don’t ever cry;
Don’t ever weep;
Just feel the speed
Carry one on.

Let the flood sweep
one away — out
of the shallows,
into the deeps.
Don’t ever cry;
Don’t ever weep;
Just feel the speed
Carry one on.

breeze-twisted leaves
catch the sunlight of an
Autumn afternoon.

each passing day
more yellow carpets the ground,
more blue shows through.




Autumn leaves
flip and flutter
onto clear water.

cattle graze:
each step sinking deeper —
lured by lush green.

The space between
this & that,
us & them,
then & now,
now & later.
The pregnant pause —
a pause without cause —
Just senseless nothing
in between.

wet yellow leaves
stick to the sidewalk
after Autumn rain.

Spring rains stalk up
behind a bald mountain;
a brown flood flows.
