One of My Friends Died Last Week

eking out an existence
coronary impulses to make a break
subversively bloodstream
canceling out those minor medical epiphanies
us resulting in a total of fleshy mass

how to recall a being after death

----------------------

Only a Dollar

only a dollar
suffices to save
stow it away
million years later
more than any other
one little dollar
begets more little dollars

----------------------------------

Leaving

the bifurcation of paths
as I separate leaf from stem
splitting hairs to unravel a distance,
quantify absence.
The slivers strewn across park fork
and you and I leaving
while these hands leafing.
