older music
by many artists
listened to again
in a new way
years and growth
leaves fall
from the tree
by my window
to the garden where
lilies bloom in summer
yellow chrysanthemum
on an old green chair
in the yard and an orange
pumpkin near the door
fall stillness
POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN
praying the Psalms
sun reaches the chair
where I read
staying with the light
I read in different corners
of the house
yard work
rest a few minutes
in an old chair
light through leaves
on old trees
