Small

souls lost to time
cast their shadows
we are so small

Grows

the grass grows
where time has stopped
life goes on

Curves

the path curves
between life and death
rain touches both

Infinity

silent ghosts
lit by the sun
walk beside me

Unsaid

I.
my new recipe
worse than bad
you ate every bite

II.
twenty years married
there’s not much to say
we still know

III.
clad in black
mourners leave roses
silent widow

IV.
the day dies down
birds circle the feeder
in silence
