approaching sunset
the world grows so much colder
birds can’t bear to sing
~
coldest wintertime
is covered with morning frost
-future dreams below
~
gritty winter frost
covers the tall prairie grass
hiding shadow’s song

Another birthday today and I am feeling older—

old men at coffee
talking about memories
flawlessly white teeth
+++++++++++++++++++++++
shopping at Walmart
cell phone rings in my pocket
who knows I am here
+++++++++++++++++++++++
quarter on the floor
under the restaurant chair
not worth the effort
+++++++++++++++++++++++
sunrise at table
reading the obituaries
turns out I’m still here
