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

Embrace
Still sat the squirrel. /
Unmoved stood the metal man. /
Winter embraced both.

Embrace
Embraced by ice,
oak leaf rides the frozen waves.
Light shimmers and waits.

Embrace
Branches bare, sunlight crisp,
clouds with highlighted edges.
Fall’s naked embrace.
