October’s dawn
Sorrowful as a bedroom
Reeking of booze

The heat of August
Carries a hue of sadness
Of coming decay

Shadows and light
In an unseemly embrace
Foolish April Dance

Morning sadness
Rain trickles down the window
Grey October sky.

Dark hotel room
Lit up by blinking neon light
Paid sex and silence

Snows only purpose?
To make my garden look good
Four months a year

In the middy heat
Mules seeks shady carob trees
Man seeks the beach.

On October street
Pale leaves on silver birches
Fall slowly at dusk

Echo of Terns’ shrieks
Empty row-boat in a fjord
Spooked is silence

Suicide bombers
Lack understanding of
Their total demise
Think they are to live forever
In the mind of the awed
