Dry hard leaf skipping

down the sidewalk while I strive

for some perfection

~

Crying with a friend 

life happening all over 

indoor plant waving

~

Electrical box

you too are made of the sun 

one last look at dusk

 ~

OUT OF SEASON

you wave to someone the wind is blowing through a tree

with no leaves

they don’t wave back

 ~

Old town Laredo 

International gateway 

Nuevo Laredo

~

the equation

of the falling leaf’s 

acceleration and landing time

is a leaf long work you may

not solve in this

leaf time
