poetry and prose by stephen chute
Monday, October 12, 2020
the empty trees
shoes
wear out,
calls get dropped, batteries
die.
laces break, buttons
drop to the floor.
hair thins,
wrinkles appear.
love fades.
the wind empties the trees.
the world moves on.
each day
things disappear
just a little bit more.

one more chance
dear frank lloyd wright
everything under the sun
there is always hope
the internet
the writing lesson
a much better view
regret
making amends
it's all gravy
the blue jay
sugar cone
the inner light
the simple plan
midday walk
two pear trees
one super power
when the plague ends
a herd of turtles
my mother ironing
where he needed to be
betcha by golly wow
it's not perfect but it's home
the greeting at the door
the girl in the photo
the unmade bed
the aura
falling under a blue sky
addition by subtraction
as the road gets shorter
at our own pace
we are collectors
a new path to the waterfall
fire and ice
the future
a strange lot
bring mercy
a shadow in the light
a light in the darkness
a dry martini
yadda yadda yadda
a bump in the road
the long war read
coffee and a flu shot
the good china
marie orsini
leave it alone
the autumn hunt
the rip tide
perhaps tomorrow
the weathervane is still
one critic
the world around me
the old canvas
unsalted butter
the ship in port
the lights are all green
trains at the station
what goes inside
the end of a day
the last word in
two lumps of sugar
until there is no more
she said all is well
no power of my own
the other world
baking cookies
bread crumbs
overnight
the cautious man
the dark night of the soul
putting the sword away
forgiveness
skipping stones
don't think twice
one step forward, two back
aquarium life
a letter in the mail
second gear
scorpio?
the video makes it look easy
the law of distraction
there's something i need to tell you
a little afternoon chit chat
homemade pizza
the first christmas tree
feeding the furnace
let's go home, my dear
there is still time
the venus spin
looking back
every way you look at it you lose
in search of icing
in the cold cellar
there is less
a raindrop
bring the fire blanket
her new shangri-la
finding happiness
less is more
