Frost
Dressed in ice,
frost dances at the edge
of abandoned leaves.

Possum
One winter’s night /
a dish rattles; a possum /
scavenges cat food.

Rattle
Clouds as spare change /
rattling in a gray pocket. /
Life is cold within.

Mockingbird
A mockingbird paused /
to quench a thirst and I paused /
to fill a memory.

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

Eye
Upward bound, birds /
fly through the gray winter sky, /
under an eye of blue.

Remembrance
When you reach the end /
there’s a sign. Not an exit, /
but in remembrance.

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.
