Guardians
Goats at the doorway. /
Cardinals at the window. /
Jazz wafts from within.

“Turning”
Turning
Winter sky reflects /
in glass and in clouds: wonder, /
pain, weather, and blue.

“One”
One
One brown leaf reflects
winter’s cycle as the tree
holds its emptiness.

“Drink the green”
Drink the green
If the red runs out, drink the green,
though the green can be quite mean.
Served at room temp or a little warmer,
it is said to make you adore the former.
It will drive you out into the day,
groping, hoping to get away
from awfulness in your mouth
that tastes like a mouse gone south.

“Embrace”
Embrace
Light inside the bend, /
Moon in the crook of its branch. /
Tree embraces night.

New is the wonder /
of moments as an old leaf /
travels down the stream.

Watch as night gathers. /
The moon and clouds coalesce. /
Fears and dreams do, too.

Solstice
Winter loves slowly. /
Its long shadows stretch like life /
compactly marooned.
