falling in love
falling in love
with the autumn leaves,
watching them drop,
leaving me, yet again,
to face winter alone
with the autumn leaves,
watching them drop,
leaving me, yet again,
to face winter alone

how can it be spring
how can it be spring
in australia
the schoolgirl asks
turning the globe
upside down
,1:24 AM
the old man
the old man,
his face holding years
in deep furrows-
we meet, first and last time
in the crowd

grasping
grasping
for a reason
to smile,
a hard thing to do
when you're gone
Thursday, October 26, 2006,11:46 PM
thunder echoing
thunder echoing
from north to south
and west to east
crescendo of my heart beat
makes sleep impossible
Wednesday, October 25, 2006,10:09 PM
relentless
relentless rain
drowning the ground,
hiding the moon-
finding myself
walking in your dream
Tuesday, October 24, 2006,11:02 PM
dancing in sunlight
dancing in sunlight
from flower to flower
at noon-
where are the butterflies
at midnight

rising sun
rising sun
climbs above the trees
and the roofs
as steam from the river
softens the brightness

old gum
old gum
found by my fingers
under the chair
you break my heart
again and again
Friday, October 20, 2006,11:30 PM
loneliness
loneliness
felt in the sound
of a train horn
as I turn off lights
for another night
Thursday, October 19, 2006,10:00 PM
moon hides behind
moon hides behind
a cloudy quilt...
midnight shiver

reading her letter
reading her letter
cup half full
of cold coffee
Tuesday, October 17, 2006,10:05 PM
as earth spins
as earth spins
away from the sun
and the past
a lone hawk circles
my thoughts of you
Monday, October 16, 2006,10:52 PM
monarch butterflies
monarch butterflies
disrupt my writing
of tanka-
flying away with them
in my autumn daydream
Sunday, October 15, 2006,10:50 PM
relentless rain
relentless rain
falling through cold air
into my mind
looking for thoughts
worth holding on
,10:24 PM
above the sky
above the sky
stars silently watch
our lives
no need of weather reports
news updates or worries
,10:10 PM
watching the sky
watching the sky
through your eyes
in a dream;
seeing a cloud cover
half of the moon

above me
above me,
falling from pine branches,
brown spent needles
on my unkempt hair-
thinner each autumn

bare ground
bare ground
partially covered with
yellow leaves..
a coke bottle cap
reminds me of summer

slowly walking
slowly walking
through a group of cedars
by the lake...
their age is hidden by the shade
and I try to do the same
audio:
,6:58 AM
counting the hours
counting the hours
left of the day
as I collect my work,
noticing a "to do" list
for october.....last year
