AMAZE

Cindy Sinsap

Autumn Calls (a merged mirror cinquain)

Gold leaves
swirl by in gusts.
A passing boy shuffles
through piles of fallen splendor now
brittle,
branches snap; from nearby burning
pile, a smoky finger
curls and to me
beckons.



The Snapshot

Beneath
a furrowed brow,
his rheumy eyes reflect 
his life—-- courage in a badge of
wrinkles.
