back as surely as the sun

Shadows in Life
all things are forgotten
by humankind
by time
by design
except for the memories
of war
of abuse
of pain
of suffering
for they are our own
they made us who we are
maybe not who we thought
we wanted to be
and what of the other memories
of joy
of love
of peace
et cetera
they cast light on the shadows
in life with hope for the life
to come
just like the knowledge of God
cannot be listed as a memory
Opelousas in Two Haiku
if cars could fly you’d
be loose from Opelousas
and back home by now
cook or MacDonald’s
then we’ll settle in and watch
the next Miss Marple
