Reflection

The face in the glass

stares at me with dimming light

who have I become?

The Squirrel Wars at my house continue. All summer these furry rodents have been stealing my birdseed from the bird feeder, driving away the song birds and causing me no small amount of frustration.

Now that Fall has come, these pesky critters have decided to start eating our Halloween decorations.

This confident fellow came right up to the porch, and decided to go all in -- head first int the pumpkin!

Now where did I put that BB gun again?

Outside my window

lives a painted man of stone

upward we swim, up

en mass toward the light and warmth

coho consciousness

Tuesday morning, October 6th

His head is spinning with the theory

Between each gig; all is lost.

A gaping hole of anxious self-pity

A drain where once a reservoir stood

His life is measured in monthly cycles

Of moon and Mr. J.P. Morgan

Where once he toiled to change the oceans

Now he moves to follow the flood

It rains with fury this dark Tuesday morning

He works alone in his cosmic man cave

Seattle glassworks mildly smolder in the tray

Francis Francis stays red, hot and brewing
