Moon
Barren branches clutch /
at passing quarter moon; grip /
empty into dawn.

Forget not
Let us not forget /
Those who define heroism /
By the rule of hate.

Fire far away
Sky fire far away /
beckons a tired winter day. /
Eternity rests.

Time
Now is elastic, /
Memory stretches then, /
Next shrinks away.

Goodbye
Footsteps here and gone. /
What you hold you someday lose. /
What you embrace stays.

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

Gallon grief
Heartache, ice cream takes /
one gallon or two: cone, scoops, /
pain moves — heart to head.

Dreams
Snow fell as I slept: /
a thousand, million, billion /
fleeting winter dreams.

Sitting
Snow sits in your chair, /
surveys your sleeping garden, /
Sad it will miss spring.

Branching
The full moon beyond /
Silhouette of winter trees /
Near to quiet Earth.
