“Garbage”
Sizzling asphalt
stales the stench over the street;
sweet midsummer days.

Sizzling asphalt
stales the stench over the street;
sweet midsummer days.

Edged with brick and mulch,
vegetable plots, flower pots.
Clean geometry.
Steve D
Varied stone layers
make the ground appear all too
sedimentary.

New occupation
to occupy the daily.
Day planner needed.
I started my new job yesterday, which means I’m readjusting to a full-time work schedule with a baby schedule to keep up with. Thus, I left myself no time for writing. Trying again tonight!

Not merely a yard,
a secluded wilderness
of unbounded dreams.
The house I grew up in, where my pup Teddy loved to run around in the backyard, has been sold. I took him there on Friday to have one final romp through his favorite squirrel-hunting grounds.

Tiny flashbulb glow,
candle floating on the breeze,
shadowed by the dusk.
Steve D
Pieces forgotten,
years of memory ignored.
Muscles rebuilding.
Steve D
Faint starlight at dusk,
wink in and out of vision,
peripheral light.
Steve D
An era of TV,
over like a phase of life.
More will come, I hope.
Steve D
Life disorganized,
cluttered, too many start points.
Pick one and finish.
