all the little lives


crumbling mushrooms
fed mice and squirrels last year
now return to earth

everything must die
so another may be fed
all those little lives

each breath means a choice
death is happening inside me
yet I am alive

no longer lonely
microscopic views reveal
the web of our lives


inspired by Simple Gestures: Part One

naked before god


remember
when flesh covered those

stark white bones


you guarded

farmer's sleeping fields

from the wind
