Two Poems

this day passes
somewhere nearby
someone practicing on
an out-of-tune piano
trying to get it right
accompanied by a
novice tuba player and
other such small things
cluttering a warm
Spring afternoon

_____

nothing but the wind
and a cricket on the porch…
consumed by them… this
ordinary loneliness
turning into
silken tears
