Hoodie Portrait
The old homeless man
pulls his hoodie up,
his head framed
in
an oval portrait.

'Just
shut up'.

Whispers
A long postcard from an ancient postman
And no door is open...
Are
there whispers in the chilled stillness?

an abir-smeared rock
worshiped
as God

line up at the temple gate
amid drifting smoke
a flower girl hesitates

by wandering humans
around the picnic table

leaves cover
boardwalk boards
as if to reach back
into history when each
was a part of the tree.
A widow lies
on the gravestone
of
her dead husband —
separate as October leaves.
