just above the fray
shopping center parking lot
a grackle’s loud squawks

just above the fray
shopping center parking lot
a grackle’s loud squawks
parade of colors
leaves on a stand of maples
until a gust blows
sunset on water
homeward bound are all creatures
I go to my love

just the sun and I
sharing a cup of coffee
touched with solitude

the half moon rising
through a tree half full of leaves
soon we’ll all be gone
