autumn wind
rattles the window -
the fridge hums louder

 OCTOBER 30th is HAUNTED REFRIGERATOR NIGHT.

a stranger says

Jesus loves you

smooth stones
so sensual
we must not only
touch them softly
but write about them also

        I think of stones
        as death approaches,
        but not for graves---
        rows of silent boulders
        shouldering our moans
