Shift

Autumn, hummingbirds
Depart for sunnier climes–
Make way for juncos

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

Changes

No inspiration
Have all my stories been told?
Winter is coming …

Bruised

reliving childhood
on a brand new bicycle–
’til the narrow gate

Everyday
As I make my way
To the town
Hospital
I see a ragged wasp nest
Dangling from a tree;

I’m waiting
For the grey mummy-
Mask to fall,
So I can
Run over it with my car–
Ghost-wasps do not sting.
