Death
 Dec 2021 am i ee

Death knocks at all doors
one way or another

Lurking in the shadows
waiting to pounce

The great levelling
of pride

Yes death remains
even after the dead are buried.
a slanted morning sun
   warming my back
makes my huge shadow
walk so far ahead of me

trying to catch up with it
I feel small
fall sun shadow small

Love is bittersweet

as
it
laps
around your feet

deceptive coastlines

etched in memory
the day we left the village
leaving no footprints.

rain clouds gallop high
fast we run, puffing, panting--
who will reach home first?

the wheels of the cart
in quick rhythmic clatter
swing the bullock horns.

when the hills recede
quietly, unseen, dust
settles on the road.
