dog show

humans will tell us

how to be compassionate,

but dogs will show us

the final gate

that final gate

looms all too near,

yet it is my belief

that death is not

something to fear–

it’s unending relief.

–photo by me

space itself dreams

and worlds appear,

and i know it seems

like you’re really here,

but hush up your weeping,

for we must adhere

to keeping space sleeping–

or we’ll disappear.

november:

the month that starts with

bare branches

and grey skies,

but ends with golden turkeys

and sweet pumpkin pies
