Winter Laughs

The New Year arrives

Old Man Winter has a laugh

His cold strokes your hopes.

“The husk”

The husk

In ten billion years /

the sun will be a cold husk /

The sunflower’s cold now.

Shuffle

You shuffle the deck /

Bare branches

Broken by the dawn, /

Clatter

Empty limbs chatter; /

hackberry seeds clatter the earth, /

first passing through birds.
