Short Poem Written in the Dark at Night

Short Poem Written in the Dark at Night

Full moon

and stars

peek through trees

scribbling patterns of light

on the ground below.

 

Outside my window I hear

cars on the 15

coyotes baying

something rustling

in the leaves

beneath the trees

sirens 

 

A cool breeze

wafts through the screen

scented of flowering jasmine 

and smoke

 

San Diego is on fire again.




Notes: Santa Ana winds arrived early this season.
