Thunderhead
Thunderhead in the sky /
I watch you blithely float by. /
Why no rain? Say why.

Mother
Your garden whispers /
your name, unfolds your beauty /
in each bright petal.

Sight
Spring and I see you /
in a cathedral of folds, /
Iris and sunlight.

Light gone
Light through your window, /
early morning, but you’re gone. /
No shadow, sun alone.

Skeleton of memories
Winter killed our tree. /
Don’t know if it was before, /
during, or after /
your death. Dead limbs hang barren: /
no buds, no leaves, no cherries. /
Skeleton of memories.

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

Goodbye (from 2022)
Footsteps here and gone. /
What you hold you someday lose. /
What you embrace stays.
