And so, a change up:
all too quickly
the return in time
as leaves leave green behind
this yellow, gold, amber not
déjà vu exactly just
a remembrance come again again
a harsh wind this day
begins to denude the trees
too soon this early fall
no joy in that of leaves
but hard earned schadenfreude
should one party follow that trajectory

Recent publications: (With Sheila E Murphy) Continuations & Continuation 2
(UofAPress).
Recording Dates (Rubicon Press).
Done in by creation itself.
I mean the gods. Not us. Well us too.
The gods moved into books. Who wrote the books?
We wrote the books. In whose dream, then are we dreaming?
