Gardening In Autumn

Gardening In Autumn


mist hangs
like drops of perspiration
from the weary fronds

of autumn shrubs -
my senses sharpen
as they caress

my cheek.

Accordion



Sometimes

I feel


like an accordion

squeezed

by some

disembodied self


each chord

vibrates bruised reeds

each inspiration

teases out


a latent voice -

rarely

to be sustained -

almost as if


it chokes

on its own

respiration.
