Fortune Favors Fools


an evening pale blue sky covers

my vision, a few clouds as well

and more trees then the eyes can

realisitically imagine...  an infusion

of colors, ripe as fruit stand in

between me and my judgement;

ferns on the porch rails hang

hummingbird feeders empty

due to the cracked concrete steps

in front of them...  restless souls

walk in the shoes of the living,

spirits ride bareback on currents

of wind Satan sent to bring home

the trophy...  silent footsteps make

indentations on the wet ground,

where seeds are freshly sown...

time dwells out in the open for

all to see as they rapidly age

from one day to the day, afraid

to show their old faces for fear

of being bullied...  we rhyme the

reason for the fire when there is

nothing to cook on the fireplace;

haunting images that stand on the

backs of all those less fortunate.
