Biography

Days as thin as pages

Nights erased in

Sleep

Much about those early years are

Now

Only highlights

Held by spine and cover

Captive

Like leaves on a

Summer tree

And just as destined for

Autumn

And winter's

Epilogue

Haiku

That bold argument

Sounded much more convincing

While still in my head

Remember

As time closes yet another

Curtain

As my orbit expands

As my innocent neighborhood

Grows

Into a small city

As demands crowd

Demands

In the fugitive hours

Where all is

Borrowed

The moments you filled

I own

Skin

Thick or thin

Cover this fragile

Mechanism

Hold it's pins

In place

Hide the gory

Details

You are my atmosphere

Protecting my

World

From countless

Debris

Or alien

Scourge
