Leaves clamor,
like Sunday morning preachers
castigating sins
of a North
by too late wind.
A cold front settled
on addresses changed,
she left him...
he left her...
does it matter?

About Me
- Pat Paulk
- 2009! 57 years ago in April I was a 2# squealing baby boy. Got a wonderful tan in an incubator. Made friends with plastic tubing, needles and tape. All of which I have zero recollection. I've been well watered and fertilized over the years, and grown quite ripe. Plastic tubing, needles and tape are catalysts for flashbacks without the buzz. Enjoy!
