“East”

East

Over in the East, /

burning below night’s pains, /

rises dawn’s searching flame.

“Up”

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.

“Door mat”

Door mat

Footprints on tree limbs, /

winter water reflection: /

world view up from down.

I’m a rodent, you see. /

Not a weatherman, who sees. /

See the difference?

“Failure”

Failure

Is their poetry /

in failure? Bleak winter sun /

pockets its promise.

“Gallon grief”

Gallon grief

Heartache, ice cream takes /

one gallon or two: cone, scoops, /

pain moves — heart to head.

“Cat dance”

Cat dance

Cats in the front yard: /

one leads with a left jab. /

The other rope-a-dopes.

“Love”

Love

Remind me why: love, /

I carry as the morning: /

wide, heavy, weightless.

“Fence and flesh”

Fence and flesh

Rough wood, cold fingers,

morning sunlight, winter’s day.

Some moments focused.
