NOVEMBER
red begonia
red begonia
placed with two
orange pumpkins
near forsythia and fence
still blooms
part-way through
part-way through
a good book
half the gold leaves
on the tree
half on the ground
reading a book
reading a book
I bought used
some time ago
words that bless
today
pictures of my life
pictures of my life
these many years
books on the shelf
reading
reading
in a sunny corner
of the house
I could be
any age
