off for a while...

to the south
fall to spring in one day
Argentina

random...

scratching
in my notebook
the only sound



...

a wish
to wish
no more

turning

fall breeze
window of
opportunity

...

around every corner
October moon
looms

tears

rain-soaked earth
one red maple
leaf

...

walking in the rain
tears welling
in my eyes

fall rainfall

circles grow from
raindrop centers --
puddle

...

outside the flower shop --
pumpkins
glisten in the rain

wet

plash of
rain
on the window sill

...

child's rubber boot
lying in a puddle
waterproof

October night

long after sundown
heat
from a brick wall

...

milky white
frosted glass
waning moon

this I hear

caw of the crow
creaking
floorboards



...

one chopstick
on the counter
rumbling stomach

the sounds of autumn

strolling on a
crisp fall day
crunch underfoot

...

rustle of leaves
carried to my bed
October breeze

hangover

early fall
summer hanging
in the air

...

bend in the road
sunlight on a
blade of grass

construction

buildings
rise
into a vanishing sky

...

from the scaffolding
sparks
of a welder's torch

Canadian Thanksgiving

Gone north
giving thanks to
the seasons

smoke?

over the chimney
white puffs
of cloud

...

woman poised
with a long cigarette
loose t-shirt flapping

warm autumn

early fall
summer hanging
in the air



...

long grass
moonlight holds
the cricket still
