November Syllabics

(C) R.L.K.

(Autumnal)
-+-

Days of dusty sunlight
and threadbare memories.

(So Long)
-+-

Rains of yesterday
remembered today.

(Lost)
-+-

Hear the wind's ragged song!
The trees have thinned to air.

(The Neighborhood)
-+-

On these old streets
the buildings were
made for sunless
days; they are things
to be seen through
falling rain, dream-
like, yet real.

Lakeside

1.
Chilly afternoon;
Someone picks up a pebble
From a wave-washed shore.

2.
After the downpour
The first ray of sunlight slants
Across a tin roof.

3.
Night. Between the clouds,
A pale moon pours light down on
An empty harbor.
