Literature Text
1.
far beyond me
the clicks
of a brown bat-
emailing
my distant lover
2.
before rain
he finds an empty
garage...
this wayward cat
with a missing tail
3.
the scar
Dad never mentioned
visible now
with his new
haircut
4.
alone
in this autumn field
only now
do I notice
Sagittarius
5.
autumn clearance
my sister
buys a Buddha
to match
her room
6.
tai chi practice
in the backyard
I sink
into the harmony
of roots and mud
7.
arguing zen
up the mountain-
a set
of coyote prints
going nowhere
8.
a beetle
scrambling
from the bread box-
this too
is autumn
9.
I wonder
what old man Basho
would think-
oak leaves cluster
in a lopsided pile
10.
her sneeze
in the middle
of our kiss-
I give myself over
to autumn love
