60
Echoes in the ashes,
flutter from my ears and nose.
Memories, gasping for crystal air,
flee the grasp of a stumbling tongue.
Niggling ghosts of nothing,
naked in a fading sun.

Deep Fried Puddle
A frozen puddle
reminded me of a chicken thigh
lightly dusted with flour,
waiting on a deep dive
in roiling oil.
I thought about
stepping on the metaphor
but, decided not;
soon enough
it’d be cold broth
for a rising, hungry sun.

Hint Of Humidity
I zipped my zipper
in a cold Spring wind
(I’m sure you understand why).
Nature doesn’t have call waiting, or
a button to place on hold.
I checked for tracks
on the landscape of my legs,
no trace of the legacy of age.
