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
