caught in the railing
icy water below

No Rest

no footstep in the hall
the dull tick of the clock
sleep but no rest

Last Words

all the words not said
all the ones that still echo
after the door slams

in a gray cloak
the sky prepares to weep
the end of autumn

Doll

the doll abandoned
for a new best friend
leans on the old bear

Into the Sunset

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

one more time

Nettles

stinging nettles
brush my ankles as I pass
whips of sharp regret

Shards

shards of broken glass
glitter among the autumn leaves
shattered dreams

Silent Grief

the old barn fell last night
today the swallows sit
in silent grief
