Albert Ahearn Poems

There was a time when I knew she loved me.
Yes, that was a very long time ago.
Her every word and deed, the way that she
Looked at me, her way of saying, hello!
...

The tiny marks they mean so much
their presence makes for clarity.
They give a script a final touch

but the trees, fauna and I know
that Autumn is now upon us
in spite of the Gregorian.

I can’t sleep. Perhaps too many iced green
Teas. It doesn’t bother me you see
Not getting rest I mean, it’s the caffeine
...

The dew indiscriminately

wept for all things living and dead
...

The magnificent perianths
Of the Day Lilies with their six
Spreading bright orange arms (funnel-formed)
Fixed in their clustered colonies
...

The hour of darkness covers many men.
They enter foreign soil illegally.
En mass invasion time and time again.
The problem is arithmetically
...
