As if in salute
Hospital doors snap open --
Man in wheelchair

[Brian Robertson @Mojotales]

Death room -- the cool breeze
walking stick next to me
Just beyond my reach.

[Whitney Marie @YostWhitney]

I need to purify
this skin I'm in
it no longer
feels like home
just a place
my weary bones
remain restless...

gone beyond --
the son we never
speak of.

above this city
a brooch on the night sky –
the full moon!

I avoid my reflection

the only other passenger
sings a distant song

she passes by me --
suddenly I remember
my first wife smoked too

at my childhood home --
half century tall pine tree
my father planted

Dropping out doesn't mean becoming a bum. It means recognizing that anonymity and non-participation are ways to survive in an insane world.

so we walk
full moon on my shoulder
endless autumn night
