cucumbers & flu shots

Cloudy. Cucumbers now showing up in a plastic bag in the cafeteria at work. Sound of dried leaves scraping against concrete in the road. Field hockey game at Rutland High School. Signs for flu shots in store front windows.

Refusing wordly worries,
I walk among village strollers.

Pine winds sing, the evening village
smells of grass, autumn in the air.

A lone bird roams down the sky.
Clouds roll across the river.

You want to know my name?
-a hill, a tree. An empty drifting boat.

  1. Another sunny day in Denver, summer is still in full swing here. Apples still on the tree on the corner of 9th and Pearl. Grapes on the vine in back yard. Highs around 90.
