Ice
silver cormorants
standing by the melting edge
of a frozen lake
–
snowfall-
koi slowly swim
beneath a skin of ice

Rain
the new morning sun
shining through the mist after
a hesitant rain
–
sunset-
a sudden tattoo
on her tin roof
First Date
driving home alone
all the while the taste of you
lingers on my tongue
–
an awkward kiss-
moths flutter
near the porch light
Gouache
curling photographs-
remnants of an age gone by
taped to my mirror
–
sepia trees-
winter morning’s
gentle light
Risk
the time has come to
take my heart down off the shelf
and gift it to you
–
long winter shadows-
a snowshoe hare
braves the sun
Ice
long icicles cling
tenaciously to the rocks
and flow to the ground
–
ice jam
the rising waters
chill my soul
Distance
from a different life
the passing of an old friend
rests on my shoulders
–
moonrise-
a silver wind
sways the curtains
Patience
waiting on my turn-
step by step moving forward
ever so slowly
–
traffic-
another day
turns to night
Trigger
rooted to the ground
frozen, my mind replaying
one moment in time
–
blinding sun-
the city street
unnaturally quiet
Bats
shrinking from the light
blended into the shadows
I’m invisible
–
dusk-
black clouds
rise from the earth
