ON BEING WRONG

 

Am I to deny

Her the opportunity

Her spot in the sun?

 

There are, it turns out

Others more up on this one

I will try again

 NOT QUITE STILL LIFE

Across the room a potted plant,
petals pressed against the window,
looks in at me,
drawing attention to the maple tree.
Its leaves acknowledge the breeze
stirring two rocking chairs
which flank the potted scene.
