Ghazals for Summer's End
#1
Petals fall from summer roses once veiled in smoke
Aspen shake golden as frost comes down from the mountain.
We wait for the chill to return to our lives
Piles of pinon, cedar and pine anticipating fire.
You left thinking I was unfaithful,without honor
I prayed you would not erase me from your life.
A songbird sits alone on the wire pondering
which way to fly this year, Mexico, Honduras, Belize.
Stars falling all around me lost in a foreign sky.
Salmon swim home to mate one last time.
