Rummage Sale

At my church they price
too high. Refugees, students
leave empty-handed.

Unfaithful

Now I blog somewhere
else. A paid professional,
thousands read my work.

Psych kick

Today it didn’t
happen. But I thought it would.
What does Facade say?

Business as usual

Breakfast meeting. Lunch
meeting. Outside, homeless men
plead, Will work for food.

See sun’s end

We’ve shut the windows.
Pulled out sweaters, pulled on socks.
A fall admission.

Word whore

I was first published
in Seventeen magazine
thirty years ago.

Autumn entourage

Cold rain heralded
her return. Killing frost trails
her, biding his time.

Pride goeth

My new business cards,
bearing my new title, all
printed with typos.

Wabi-sabi

To possess few things,
humble in beauty and worth.
Such simplicity.

Essential

The spareness of what
I write contrasts with my
cluttered existence.
