encroaching darkness
meadowlark sings
December Songs
.
.
.
haikus
scrawled across the void
Kilroy was here
.
.
.
on the porch
friends talk and laugh
into darkness
.
.
.
ticking clock
parcels life’s concerns
3 AM
.
.
.
blue eyes blink
love’s
morse code
.
.
.
vanishing act
spring. summer. fall.
winter.
.
.
.
sinews of self
bind
past-present-future
