Thanksgiving 2009

The ions, spinning,

charged, split from their molecule,

briefly rebond back.

November 24, 2009

Recipes, menu,

flow chart to guide troop movement.

Assault on T-Day.

November 23, 2009

One weight spread wings, flew.

Another ebbed like the tide.

I, buoyant, float up.

November 18, 2009

A friend's visit makes

me lonesome for passers-by

to welcome back home.

November 17, 2009

Done pile neatly stacked.

Only a conclusion left

on the to-do pile.

November 16, 2009

Leaves accumulate.

Pounds, bills accumulate, too.

Just time slips away.

Friday the 13th

Bad luck arrives late,

spooks gone, rain finally stopped.

Move on. You missed out.

November 12, 2009

Hibernation day.

Rain and manuscript pages.

Music without words.

Veterans Day 2009

Text on "use of force"

reads abstract, bloodless, while rain

falls on countless graves.

November 10, 2009

Moment's illusion:

kids, moms well; deadlines distant;

tea sweet; breeze still warm.

November 9, 2009

Bees dance their vectors,

we leave Post-It notes instead

to describe our paths.

November 6, 2009

Picking up the pen

tickles, but putting it down

leaves my hands empty.
