campfire

only the moon

in the thermos

burning coals

the golden leaves

fall on us

monastery grounds

the sandhill crane

makes her nest

rabbit on the moon

can my voice

reach yours?

doctors speak

of failing systems

in this world

where will I

find home

C. Jean Downer

same stories

everyday…

tonight, I mourn

all that is left

unsaid

an unaware cherry tree

keeps blooming

still able to hold

January snow

this orange leaf

white snake...

this voodoo witch

in the museum
