In the empty mall
a solitary shopper
wears a virus mask
Month: January 2020
2721
toss out the tv
put in an eight foot cat tree
no WiFi needed
2720r
a battered penny
picked up from the gutter
we are the same age
2719
daffodils blazing
against an old weathered fence
my birthday candles
2718r
the fog and I
dream of your nearness
scent on my pillow
2717
time is a tree
from which we fall
mounds of damp leaves
2716
a cold, late night
parked cars chirping
locks snap shut
2715
deer bounding through
the fence of nylon netting
a green wave crashing
2714
a few square yards
the calmness of deer
my ravaged garden
2713
old grizzled gunny
marching out every morning
salutes as I drive by
2712
Japanese maple
clusters of five pointed stars
pressed into the road
2711
don’t know my neighbors
but on first name terms
with their dogs and cats
2710
climb Mt. Fuji once
be called wise— twice
be known as a fool
2709
a resounding roar
salutes the sunrise
thunder box barrage
2708
grandpa will build you
a cottage of ginger snaps
make all wolves vegan
