Loss
In a field of fresh
cut clover
summer sun,
noon high,
beats down
on open farm spaces,
3 dependent children,
and somewhere
she has lost
her shadow-
and now
she stand still-
with nowhere
to go.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Face On A Bus
face on a bus,
passing by,
nameless,
stares out the framed
window,
frozen like skeleton
bone-
boredom nibbling away
at his time.
