Life & Life Only

I stare out the window, dead-

Weighted with the ghosts

Of all the pretty voices

I’ve known. Waiting: there’s

No loneliness more pure.

Just close your eyes & then

Where’d everybody go?

Each moment growing

More & more full. Swaying

Husks of the forever-standing

Sunflowers. Shade giving

Purple to black as the hours

Pass. Echoes of last night’s rain

Fingertip over the birdbath’s edge.

Sparkling ropes of light, the drops

Dazzle through the nearer dark.
