haiku (3) after Hallowtide
x
x
seasons ending in
new seasons beginning to
take hold then let go
x
x
red leaves like children
bright and shiny always changing
into something else
x
x
evergreen until
needles wither due to lack
of water and air

Leaving Church
(all souls day)
The living church remembered
Now in the season
Hallowtide
We can recall who’s gone ahead
Who maybe holds a door
For the rest
Whatever our next jobs might be
I’ve lost too many
Witnesses
Pillars
Walking prayers for me
While mostly they were they
More than an idea of a person
Or a symbol
Or an inspiration
Beyond living day to day
Flawed
Moody
Qualifying me for our companionship
Until one gone
And then another
