thirtieth day

woke in and to a fog

warm air

in twirling swirling cloudy mist

November;

last

day of the month

fall variations

bare skin exposed, soaking

blossoms sway

bright

steel grey cold sky blocks stars

too brief

the wind rests its northern ice breath

November

plays

an odd autumn

too good the mystery

beeping voice

(Note: getting billed twice for the same

service may be the ‘root’ of the issue.

So now it is just a matter of sorting paperwork.

The initial shock of the amount due quickened

the heart, but froze the gaze, like a deer caught

in headlights . - Yes, I find inspiration for poetry

everywhere...)
