What have you given (Day 348)

What have you given

aside from life, 

   yours 

      and mine

aside from all 

   of the wisdom

      you collected 

         over the years

aside from everything

   anyone could dream of 

      sharing with another

What have you given

   that was not already 

      yours

         or mine to give?

Late Pears (Day 221)

Late pears drop through 

branches and leaves  landing 

with muffled plops on 

overgrown grasses  rotting in 

the sun  drawing bees and 

hornets to sip delicately at 

trickles of hot syrup  

soon leaves slip off trees and 

ships rock  creaking with truth 

and frustrated eagerness  

slickly filtered through a veil 

of midnight smiles.
