I’d never
known before
that this
not that
would bring
to me
the same
thing as
but without
the rest
and isn’t
that marvelous

Tends
Time tends
but not
to things
like flocks
but to
promising pebbles
bringing baubles
to life
by over
and over
again tumbling
one against
the other
making shine
Lake (for Silas)
And before
is water
and after
are trees
and under
likely unseen
and atop
float pads
and all
make evening
this lake
Serendipity
Funny how
the simplest
thing with
the longest
name causes
greatest change
by being
caught unaware
as one
goes about
their business
Autumn
Things turn
clocks back
and leaves
once green
start falling
the breeze
blows chill
and shorts
folded take
their place
where warm
sweaters used
to stay
