caught in the railing
icy water below

she bought to dance in after
her last treatment

One Last Time

in the twilight
Grandma folds her tired hands
one last time

Left behind

crosses by the road
three souls have left
their bodies behind

Aching

widow wanders
all the trails they once loved
aching feet

Into the Sunset

let me slip off in peace
avoiding the rivers of
lingering goodbyes

Lily Petals

white lily petals
does anyone gather them
as they fade and fall?

Drained

empty wine bottle
in an alley — mute witness
to a drained life

Whose voice

whose voice tells the leaves
it’s time to let go?
whose voice will I hear?

Too Many

a flower tumbles
off the funeral wreath
a death too many
