KnewThen

A brief 
click one
small tick
a glance
then moments
later smile
and this
is when
the fall
knew summer
was gone
as we
did too

Teatime

It’s when 
I touch
my lips
to cup
over rim
I spy
you doing
the same
delicate thing
to yours
to me
eyes lock
soon kisses
will too
lingering with
the tea
on tongue

Immortal

Immorality does not 
live in the
minds of men
but instead it
prospers burning brightly
in the hearts
of others remaining
as precious memory

LaterNow

Day started 
early earlier
without you
and now
now still
late later
without you
not knowing
knowing what
if anything
to do
with this
later now

Ignorant

If there’s one thing 
that I have learned
in this long life
it is that you
can’t argue with ignorant
oh you can try
just like you can
try stopping a
spinning fan with fingers
but a spinning fan
will just continue spinning
just as ignorant will
just continue to rant
and isn’t that the
root of ignorant rant
leave them be in
the town square and
howling at the moon
for the moon doesn’t
have itself any ears
