"Whose sun falls across these pages"
-- Stephen Kuusisto, Dark Joys
https://poets.org/poem/dark-joys
Shadows
in dispersion
across black font letters
building out songs
- short poems, too -
all scratched against
the seam of white paper,
the edge of my hand
knotted with smudged
graphite from leaning
too far into text -- maybe
I am both absence
and the sun

"I gazed—and gazed—but little thought"
-- William Wordsworth, I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud

These Forget-Me-Nots remind me
of the summer we began dancing
in the field of small blue flowers
to a music in our mind - you
humming a melody as I sang
a wordless song, trailing just behind

Remnants of a moon;
night dust and refracted light
slumbering on glass

silence
and the deeper silence
when the cricket stops
--Leonard Cohen
We cup our fingers
to hold the moon tight, its light
shimmers inside us
On a cold, cold night,
we huddle near the fire;
stories as kindling
Such tiny packets
dipped in hot water, steeped
and set for comfort
Coffee mug tremors
with soft wisps of steam; we dream
in deep November
thirty degree chill
kept me under covers a
bit longer today
(I am up now with breakfast coffee at hand.)

An abandoned lawn
dons its winter coat of leaves

In the eyes of the hawk
over the withered fields
sits the winter storm
—Naitō Jōsō
At the water's edge -
withered reeds, water lilies -
not a frog in sight
A small light
flickers in rhythm
in the distance,
and we stand
together to watch it
glow, wondering
on the soundtrack
