what chance
meeting in a locked door
two kinds of fortune
Coming to the door late, after a nights work, I found it locked. Before entering the other way, I looked up, and all the stars were burning, marvelous in their number, and in their light.

locked out
with no other recourse I look
up at the stars

or

locked out
in the quiet between scattered lights
star viewing
with the passing of time, to some recollections there comes a greater richness, and depth; and this is because he who views these things has grown, though in what way it may be hard to determine. But even the smallest of steps forward yet is a step forward, and, with the will to be, that is all that is necessary.

even now
rain soaked roots are withering
reminiscence

this growing town
perhaps it will learn
fallen seedpod
Recently I saw while on a walk two seedpods; one lay cracked and empty, while the other was whole still. There were no other seedpods about, except high in the tree. This struck me as so poignant a scene, that I could not help but write this verse around it.

fallen seedpod
now curb your appetite
you sparrows

hanging red
beneath an old nest

winter echo
buds
and an empty nest
A sketch, perhaps a metaphor.
