Dependence

Bottles line the floor
Cheap merlot runs down the wall
Tears run down my face

Hudson st

Dry leaves flutter by
Ugly weeds finally die
Fall morning coffee

Bald cypress leaves droop
Somber caress from spring wind
Geese honk overhead

Growth

Support from the soil,
Desire to reach the sun first,
What makes a tree grow?

Eager snowflakes fall
Happily dancing on wind
Melting once they land

Cigar

Smoke rises like clouds
Ripe leaves, dark as the night sky
Ashes fall like rain

Years later I still struggle with the loss of the friend who introduced me to the world of cigar smoking

Pity

A proud mother's push
Wings spreading to catch the breeze,
a baby grounded
