Train

Train in the rain. /

Car askew in its lane. /

January a bane.

Bare winter branches, /

Inward

In a word: inward

The birds sing loudly today.

The cat sits alone.

Cold

Cold, quarter moon glides /
above the bare, winter limbs. /
Sleepless night’s embrace.

“Solstice”

Solstice


Winter loves slowly. /

Its long shadows stretch like life /

compactly marooned.
