Yotsumono :: skeletons for sale

skeletons for sale -
 price of seed out of reach
late on Hallow's Eve

egg whites poured on water,
torch light, sun wise, round the house

the mountain
such a friendly place
now that wifi's gotten here

honeybees in the city
in search of lingering blossom



::::::::::

 

Moth

moth in the house
descending toward the floor --
nights getting longer

Little Muddy

milkweed spills its silk -
abandoned shacks, the barn, a loo
recall a time before
















dust and grease, the sticky clay
a drilling rig's relentless motion






on the longest day; the heat of the sun















the Little Muddy is dappled
while sunset tints the twilight, too
as for the mayflies' fall
so begins the sparrow's reign
