Watcher (poem #308)

Eyes in the shadows gleam

watching the moving figures

come in and out of the building,

the sun blinding, waiting

for an opportunity.

The Road [poem #307]

photo of empty gravel road

Roads traveled, worn down

into rubble. A missed step

a wrong turn and a fall

into the gravel.

Electric Kettle (poem #306)

Electric kettle sits

pale and full to the spout

with water. Insert prongs into

socket. Click button. Bubbles rumbling

toil, warm water churning.

A high pitched screech, a jet of steam.

Crisp, golden leaves drink

in sunlight and break underfoot

into pieces like ripped

bits of paper dried with ink.

The night opens,

a flower petal falls.

There are only enough

birds to fill the sky.
