Lyrics in my head...
"...one too many mornings and
A thousand miles behind."

We met once again,
Years later, with nothing left
But fragments of dreams.

It's well past midnight,
And I awake, having dreamed
Of friends and lovers.

Dreams are memories,
I'm told. But dreams, memories--
Or both--haunt my sleep.

August afternoon,
We wait for the storms to come--
The air smells of rain.

The storm has ended,
And the western sky is now
Red, orange, purple.

The white ash, dying .
The shade it casts will be gone.
The yard, emptier.

A brief thunderstorm--
The dog huddles at my feet
Until it's over.

Out in the front yard--
A half-eaten crabapple,
A happy rabbit.

A morning shower...
Then the sun breaks through the clouds ,
And the streets sparkle.

Reading an old book,
Its familiar feel and words
Are like an old friend.

(The book, is anyone cares,
is Len Deighton's
The Ipcress File)

Everywhere I look,
Clouds, dark gray, shading to black,
Desultory rain.

Caught in a downpour,
And, at the same time, sunshine, and
A distant rainbow.

When I retired,
I thought: "Great! No more meetings!"
That was a mistake.

Our two cardinals,
On the fence and in the tree,
Sing to each other.

Our yard-rabbit spent
Today eating crabapples
And dodging the dog.

Just after sunset,
The storm hit--torrential rain,
Thunder, frightened dog.

Dozing in my chair,
Waking now and then to see
A blood-red sunset.

Strange dreams through the night,
Fragmentary visions of
A fantasy world.

Poems for winter,
Regardless of the season,
As I grow older.
