Fragrance
Fragrance of cedar on fire
abundance unlimited
flap of oars slicing
the surface with tenderness
blackberry’s purple laughter
hawks meditating on branches
aha, autumn the thief comes
to finish hot pillow yearnings of
an exuberant call from the opposite
shore, smile of the vacant chair
looking for a body and you stand alone
by your shadow, a hint of hope
lingering in your mind yet not a single
person to share this heaven with
