autumn rain –

grandma's sewing machine

silent in the corner

a station master's whistle

in the distance

I go back

to see the rubble

silence of stars

sea foam . . .

fleeting memories

take shape

daylight fades a cautious young deer crosses at the crosswalk

near dusk a crow caws twice as it flies over the apartments
