Mother once sighed,
you've spoken English for too long
you might forget me ...
exiled for years, I can't recall
which
language I dream in

an old cat
I stroke
his
bony spine

seemingly
alone

bare branches
the loneliness of
not
knowing
John Pappas
autumn chill
I seed my lawn
with
crows
John Pappas
after the storm—
the bright shards of the
broken
pot
John Pappas
dark matter
the secrets I keep
from myself

morning drizzle
raindrops waking
on
a gray roof
John Grey
calm peaceful village
smoke from beyond the hilltops
where
the fighting is
John Grey
railway station on a disused line
one old brown suitcase
unclaimed
these thirty years

gray spring eve
leaving the park bench
for
the pigeons

riptide
this poem goes out
to
the seagulls

moon-faced
for every phase
another

making
up
for lost time

coffee the conversation gone cold
