“Remembrance”

Remembrance

When you reach the end /

there’s a sign. Not an exit, /

but in remembrance.

“Shattered”

Shattered

Shattered, scattered ice — /

unmade bed for a seed head. /

Cold a harsh blanket.

Ghost

A ghost of summer, /

a coneflower in winter, /

brittle stalk and day.

“Thieves”

Thieves

Snatching peanuts, /

two blue jays gather quickly, /

and then flee like thieves.

Cardinals and seeds, /

snow slipping from the sky, /

sparrows wait their turn.

Sitting

Snow sits in your chair, /

surveys your sleeping garden, /

Sad it will miss spring.

First bread of the year. /

Homemade and warm, apples sliced /

and groomed with sugars.

Looking backward /

No one remembers the rain /

Only the hammers.

Embrace

Still sat the squirrel. /

Unmoved stood the metal man. /

Winter embraced both.

“Sentinels”

Sentinels

Submerged under ice /

sentinels of the past spring /

hold tomorrow’s seeds.
