An artist friend of mine once observed that the fall seemed to be the time when I was the most productive artistically. This year, for various reasons, that doesn't seem the case.

So, although I'd rather post fresh stuff, I'm gonna post one that I dedicated to him. Many years ago, he moved to Florida to get out of the northern winters. His dad was a former NASA engineer who'd settled there after retirement.

I like to imagine that Rich is living somewhere in the middle Keys, surrounded by a lifetime of wonderful art...

it's raining
and the
leaves are falling
in the
woods, i said.

the fall
is really
your time,
he said.

i have the
words,
it all seems
clear,
and endings
fill the
air, i said...
