Disturbance
watching while you sleep
your gentle breath, warm and sweet
so easily stilled
–
echoes of
silence spread
throughout the night

Unseen
footprints in the grass
below my bedroom widow
revealed by the dawn
–
hidden-
disguised by the night
peering undetected
Caution
semaphore flags snap
high in the ominous sky
double back and red
–
a tempest-
warning flags
flying high
Destiny
Peace is elusive
But a respite from the past
Would suffice for now
Drifts
A late spring snowfall
Endless cottonwood tree seeds
Floating through the air
Silence
The night’s slow passage
A stanza in the poem
Of my sleeplessness
Waiting
A tendril of smoke
Rises from her cigarette
As she sits alone
Fall
Autumn’s final leaf
Lets go it’s hold on winter
And portends the spring
Barefoot
Shards of your anger
Litter the ground around you
Keeping me at bay
Migration
The loon framed against
A burnished copper sky flies
Towards the setting sun
