Over in the East, /
burning below night’s pains, /
rises dawn’s searching flame.

Up
Up, beyond dark clouds, /
flows a sky of supple blue, /
and glimpses of you.

Winter rain
I see you on leaves, /
lost tears of the winter rain. /
I see my rain, too.

M

Door mat
Footprints on tree limbs, /
winter water reflection: /
world view up from down.

Visions
I’m a rodent, you see. /
Not a weatherman, who sees. /
See the difference?

Failure
Is their poetry /
in failure? Bleak winter sun /
pockets its promise.

Gallon grief
Heartache, ice cream takes /
one gallon or two: cone, scoops, /
pain moves — heart to head.

Cat dance
Cats in the front yard: /
one leads with a left jab. /
The other rope-a-dopes.

Love
Remind me why: love, /
I carry as the morning: /
wide, heavy, weightless.

Fence and flesh
Rough wood, cold fingers,
morning sunlight, winter’s day.
Some moments focused.
