Beets


Sandy delectables,
Tubers grated, well-washed leaves and stems finely chopped,

Chestnuts and goat cheese,

A dash of minced onion,

On a bed of lettuce,

With avocado,

And a glass of red wine.

Chestnuts


Have you ever walked down a Manhattan street in November and smelled chestnuts roasting in a vendor's cart? Have you bought a warm bag of them and slowly strolled, peeling shells from the hot nuts as you went, popping the meats into your mouth?

The Sticks


While painting a November morning,
Wet and blue and mist shrouded,
Colors building slowly
With the increasing light,
It dawned on me,
Why they call it
The Sticks.

1969, a gift from the neighbors,
a pilot and stewardess,
back from Japan.
My only doll, today.

Lace Murex


Chicoreus dilectus,
Elaborate tiny shell
Of gray, pink and white
Like blushing ashes
In the palm of my hand.

Beach treasure,
Remnant of my childhood
The life that made you
Is long gone
An empty shell
In the palm of my hand.

November Sunset Remembered


Gripping the wheel, flying up the road by the reservoir,
The usual urgent endless rush of vehicles,
Containing people desperate to touch home base.
An incredible fleeting beauty envelopes all,
Completely overlooked,
As they lock their attention on the red tail lights ahead.
