In Memoriam

Leatrice Lifshitz
1933 - 2003

leafless trees
and beyond them leafless trees
and the highway

at the edge
just as I let my hair down
the blue heron flies

Matthew Louviere
1930 - 2003

tumbleweeds
stopped by a fence
the Milky Way

empty beach house
a seashell left
on the windowsill

Robert Gibson
1923 - 2003

cats sunning
I speak their names
their tails twitch

auld lang syne
and those i would hug
far away
