SITTING THERE

 

Drove by two cemeteries

on my way home this afternoon.

Hard stone reminders sitting there

in the shaking green grass.

Came across a memorial card

this evening in a book

I never finished – it too giving

me pause – death is in the wing.

Hold it.

Hold still.

There better be a morning

after these hard rock and paper

warnings – that there are term limits.

THE  MOTH

 

A tan moth is flying by

as I’m sitting here on the screened porch.

Is that it?

Is he gone from my life

as fast as he just flew in?

Did he or she do what they

were supposed to do?

I don’t know.

And by the way is there something

I’m supposed to be doing

other than just sitting here -

thinking - on a screened in porch?

I'M NOT HERE

 

Across the street ….

Down the block ….

Yesterday ….

Tomorrow ….

Last year ….

An hour from now ….

But right now I’m not here ….

I’m always

somewhere else.

I’m missing the present –

so I’m missing the gift that  is not mine.
