Suspended in Time

Flooding the kitchen
Bright morning sunshine lights up
Water and grapefruit.

 

 








Window is dirty;
Sunshine splats against the glass,
Flattens into light.

 

Leaf on a mushroom
Looks like it has been etched there
By a mother tree.

 

Forsythia blooms
As the brown leaves are falling?
Topsy turvy world.

 

Silently they land:
Small birds in the yellow leaves;
Silently they fly.

 

Three dots in the sky;
Three leaves suspended in time.
One blink and they're gone.

 

Humming past my ear--
Mosquito goes on its way.
(I feel rejected).

 

 Small furry shadow
Scurries into the dead leaves.
(What the hell was it?)
