Out walking

On the rail-to-trail;

No pivot

For divot—

Went over on my ankle—-

A misstepic fail.

Shadorma #54 Whistle

I waken

To an eerie sound

From afar,

Only to

Discover, it’s coming from

My left nostril.

October,
we expect fallen
leaves, winds blown,
not this hot
day of raging thunder in
a tropical storm.

Each morning
now we awake to
the sound of
insistent
bluejays shrieking their demands
for some more peanuts.

Four men are
on my roof just now,
working hard.
I shower
and it feels an invasion
of my privacy.
