Mobile home parks
along the Florida's coast
catch the storm's eye.

Weeping willows
upon autumn's return
wipe away tears.

Leaf-sewn swatches
of yellow, reds and browns
blanket a restless earth.

Squirrels' autumn harvest
tucked away in a stump
a late winter's snack.

HOMAGE TO P.P.

The tune you are hearing
is and is not the
Beautiful Tennessee Waltz.

Autumn leaves
harvest moon
the alley cat stalks
a tuna can

A scent of hazelnut
percolates
long way home . . .
a jack-o-lantern flickers
on the newell post.

Roused from summer lethargy
By the frosted edges
Of a late summer’s day

Catfoot alarm,
Purring crescendo
Kneading breakfast...

Cocaine
Brightly white
Pure as the driven snow,
Deadly freezing

Half a man came dancing
With his shrunken legs
And inner light

Sensitive fingers
Skimming dots and bumps
Read a body poetic

In search of you
I found me
Asleep on the couch
Safely removed
From it all
