Path
I find no jonquils. /
My path is barren and dark. /
Even the sun hides.

Guarding
The small dog stares /
through the balusters of the stairs, /
eyes guarding the night.

Homeless
Sweet, sickly scent — /
pine trees piled in the street, /
homeless from holidays.

Embrace
Winter’s white embrace /

a car’s cold window.

Whispers
Beneath my tired cane, /
the floor whispers its beauty /
to the soles passing.

Promises
New Year’s promises /
