Loose Ends

 

under the rain shaken free

from the maple's golden shade

from the torrent the day before before

how does it remain in its glistening drops

stay with me in dreamless days and

nights awakened by the sound and tremor

of a life this dazingly (madly)

unaware

The Last Fall

reach for me as the perfect petals

of the last flower does reaching 

for a failing sun

am I failing with it

and when does one question leave shadows

darker now encroaching devouring

every little thing

rhyme and reason still struggle

unannounced unseen unheard

yet the sky quakes from the silent roar

of her answering

outstretched

eyes

 

The Last Fall
