Weddings And Funerals

July 5, 2008

My siblings don’t meet,
As often as we might.
When we do, we don’t speak,
Until late at night.


After The Storm

July 5, 2008

After the raging came the calming dawn,
Howling overnight, but now curtains are drawn.
See the clouds parting as the sun gives a yawn,
And thrushes and blackbirds dance on the lawn.
