GHOSTS

September the leaves already float
against the window like ghosts

bringing dreams
of places you never intended
where time is kept by bells
some forgotten or broken items
disappear into thin night
a glass set on a table
a teacup in a saucer

windchimes in dead calm
the old floorboards creak and pop
whine of old timbers
a sigh through the walls
any of these sounds might move
the house marks a passage

images frail and fragile
sometimes a breeze brings
a slight scent of age
of clear blue sky
when the windows shudder

I pull the blanket over my head
like a cowl
let the cold wind pass by

it's all about the dark

sometimes I stay up all night
waiting

A DREAM OF SNOW

Winter lake effect is light
spring snow is difficult
treacherous breaks
under foot

in this dream the walk
is halting lurching or lost
in a desert of dazzling white

animal tracks clear as day disappear
in winddrifts the briars fold away
a path to a stand of pines

dogs or coyotes track across the snow
chasing deer
some bird I do not recognize

I head back there are no tracks
perfect white
walking is hard there is no place
to stop lean sit down

houses start
as ridge breaks to road

some dark spot becomes animal
watches me up the rise
moves when I move
crows complain
and cars in the distance

the snow wrings itself out
drips to streams under thin ice
the banks turn black
along the highways
dark remembers

rivers swell days lengthen
this morning when I woke
were there birds
the time come round
it is no good
anymore
to be snow

GLOBAL WARMING


Ten straight days
no sun and cold so cold
it radiates off coats even inside
we huddle against it
seems winter gets colder every year
maybe just old age creeping in
through the cracks summers cooler
too maybe another ice age cometh
the next great extinction man
oh man

still the deserts push into verdancy
ice caps melt northwest
passage free and clear
glaciers disappear islands
sink in rising seas our lives
thin blood cools so

the hour grows late
bank the fire try to find
some comfort some grace
