30 October 2014

Another late night,
And fireworks keep me awake...
Do I deserve this?

28 October 2014

Home from work at last,
Tired, hungry, and aching.
And ready to sleep.

27 October 2014

Just outside our door,
In late autumn, like a flame,
A burst of red leaves...

First in the sun room,
And then in the yard, the dog
Lying in the sun.

A warm autumn day,
Our dog asleep in the sun
With her paws twitching.

My friends have scattered,
Almost none are now near by...
Life is emptier...

Fog over the pond,
Creeping across fallen leaves...
An eerie morning.

Even a short drive
Has become more difficult...
Getting old's not fun.

An October day--
Cold, gray skies, sporadic rain--
And we're staying home.

I sit quietly,
An ice bag strapped to my knee,
Feeling the pain ebb.

I've heard it said that
"Every promise has a price."
And I believe it.

unrecorded--song by Bob Seger)

17 October 2014

Once again at home,
Tired from a full day's travel,
Unable to sleep.

An eerie landscape,
Created by volcanoes--
Iceland from the sky.

Indian food shops,
Crowded, busy, line the street
As we're leaving Paris.

Just a small hotel,
On an undistinguished street,
But we're together.

On my love's birthday,
I watch her, across the table,
Smiling back at me.

A slender woman
Running through the station
On stiletto heels.

Paris streets at night,
Impenatrable traffic,
And crowded sidewalks.

Sailing from New York,
The lights of the city a
Rainbow of colors.
