pine cone drops —
doctor looks me in the eye;
"no more babies."

<><><><><><><><>

weekend rains —
pussy willows against glass
start dogs howling

<><><><><><><><>

last leaf falls —
winter's sun rising low while
his temp skyrockets

<><><><><><><><>

watch dogs —
next door's goose supervises our
neighborhood watch

<><><><><><><><>

sunday coffee
reading all the pages
she dog-eared

<><><><><><><><>

a wind gust
frees the motley leaves from
Dad's burning pile

<><><><><><><><>

field mouse
eats the sunflower butter
from every trap

<><><><><><><><>

early autumn rains
upward dandelion lint
of childlike wishes
