Snow
sitting on my couch
not sure if I can get up
after shoveling
–
rabbit tracks-
a snowy owl
motionless
Category Archives: Seasons
Frustrations
feeling impotent
my head full of words but I’m
unable to speak
–
snow fall-
staring out my
hospital window
History
on my mantlepiece
rest all the pieces of you
finally at peace
–
love letters-
ashes of
old flames
Midnight
hushed and reverent
watching the moonrise and the
rebirth of the year
–
midnight-
snow falls over
the farmer’s field
Loss
another phone call-
your tired face deeply etched
with dissapointment
–
drifting snow-
fox prints near
an empty hutch
Ice
quietly cracking-
gentle waves frozen within
the river’s surface
–
irrigation pond-
young skaters
scarves and gloves
Beach
the incoming tide
laps the shore and erases
our sandy footprints
–
whispering surf-
driftwood
in the reeds
Bats
shrinking from the light
blended into the shadows
I’m invisible
–
dusk-
black clouds
rise from the earth
Winter
the walk to the car-
turning my jacket collar
up against the wind
–
aging-
cold breath
on my neck
Solstice
the solar transit
far to brief indeed on this
winter solstice day
–
winter reborn-
I depart and return
in darkness
