Death Of A Crow
Halloween night
in a city park
A dead crow
under an elm tree
I was there
standing alone
a flashlight in hand
wet in autumn rain
looking
Children in raincoats
passed by
A police car siren
wailed and faded
into the darkness beyond
No elegy
No dirge
No requiem
No tomb stone
A crow's death
is not tragic
and that is the tragedy
of the crow's death

Old Autumn Rain
It is raining
Heaven is urinating
drizzle
Prostate heavenly enlarged
drip drip drip
drizzle drip
It is raining
leisurely
patiently
prostate cancer?
not at all
Nothing malignant
Nothing special
Nothing unusual
Nothing critical
Nothing clinical
drizzle
drip drip drip
drizzle drip
Just autumn rain
Just old autumn rain
Just old man's rain
Just old god's rain
Just old benign rain
It is Halloween
It is raining
