TIMEKEEPERS
The rickety,ticking, old oak clock, tick-tocked, timelessly through the old house. Silently sneaking, around the dusty damp floor, a mouse, furry and brown, beady eyed and all bones. A clock and a mouse, together in a desolate house, one counting down the days, the other, eating up the crumbs, of...

JUST BECAUSE
When you walk into the bedroom you know I am already there, propped on pillows reading the latest library book. You don't look at me. You just go about your late night routine, then turn.

We have learned to be quiet, letting the silent breeze of love sway us together in spirit like these cattails near the bank.

WALKING WITH NOBODY
Nobody needs a walk, but Nevertheless we take one. Nobody and me. Out we go at nobody's time. Neighborhood is dotted with sprinkle of porch and yard lamps lighting the way for nobody and me to see.

SIREN SONG
A siren in the distance wails poignantly... growing nearer and louder before fading away beyond hearing. Was it a policeman chasing a speeder? An old man rushing in an ambulance toward his last broken breath? A fire brigade hurtling toward heat? Looking out our front window I offer a moment of...
