9/30/18: Flag of My Disposition

worn, yellowed, and

tissue-thin—a better scarf

than emblem

9/29/18: Missing

coming to where

sidewalks meet frames awaiting

new cement

9/28/18: In the Photos of Poets

why do they look so

happy when their sadness might

at last be captured?

9/27/18: Mark Making

blanks entice—

empty fields daring me to

walk unbidden

9/26/18: On Being Grizzled

a morning thinking

of gorillas amassing

mass and calm

9/25/18: Thinking the Worse, Hoping for the Best

twilight crowds with gray—

sun just finds its way between

so many layers

9/24/18: The Artist’s Lament

they always wonder

how long you spent—not why

you wanted to

9/23/18: Right Sorts of Sighs

breezes rising

from nothing—the deep breaths of

an unburied soul

9/22/18: Here and There

thinking elsewheres won’t

remain so—your rocky crags

inside my eyes

9/21/18: Crankiness Humidity Brings Out

not long now skies will

harden in frost—and I’ll find

my place in nature
