Away from Town

 (C) R.L.K.

In the deep night
pebbles of rain
pound the flat roads
even flatter
while the wind whines

high in the trees.

Mereness

 (C) R.L.K.

1.
From the depot roof
crows stare at the sleet falling
on the empty tracks.

2. 
Lonely winter night --
above the trees and rooftops
the moon glows like ice.
