Rain taps out a
stuttering beat upon
the aluminum flashing
wrapped window sill.
Beads of moisture trickle
in random pattern
down the glass surface of
my office window;
the day as dark
as the mood
it ushered in.

Once her hair hung down
her back
rich, shiny, black
Like a crows’ or Grackles’ feathers
Or piled up tight
in a bun
stuck with pins
you could barely see
Now age has cropped it
to a utilitarian length
silver white it shines
from between the flowers
she has painstakingly nurtured
in her gardens
like the full spring moon
high
in the daytime sky.
