trains and their whistles
so late at night— ghosts of ones
I should have taken

this flickering world
a bonfire in the sun
ends as we began

from reclaimed clay
potters shape their vessels
thus life continues

my doctor’s serious
ignores my sense of humor
I’m the joking dead

they hear my pleading
each generation of deer
grants me one more spring

an old derelict
calling me by a nickname
last heard in high school

cat wants snuggling
rubs her head on mine
bed partners life makes

for some kids— for my grandkid
a squad of marines

her dead mother’s dress
swaying to a blues tempo
clothesline gently rocks

drawer full of keys
what houses, rooms, hearts
did they once unlock

yet so overjoyed
a frog pond’s buddha

rain unclogs the spouts
flow is everything
in this aging house

chanting in anger
grinding prayer beads—
the string snaps apart
