Green pears
In a glass bowl
Sunlit
And alone;


Two wooden chairs
On the patio
Vacant
All winter long.

Clouds pass
Unseen
Above me

The wind
Soundlessly
Bends the trees;

Insulated
As an oyster

While trees
Sway
Over me.


Snow
Imperceptibly
Dances

But nothing
Touches me,

Except
A ticking clock
That says

You’re gone...

Though I still
Disagree.
