Puddles and promises
Rain strayed through the night. /
Left skies gray and bruised with cold. /
Uncollected tears.

Shadows and sky
Sun climbs to freedom. /
Shadows take root in morning, /
Growing toward blue sky.

Snowflakes
Hanging and half lit. /
Verisimilitude hope. /
Snowflakes in the rain.

What remains
Summer bloom faded. /
Fall echoes in winter’s husk. /
Scattered seeds whisper.

Staggers
Moon staggers above /
Full of my love and regrets, /
Mythic and foolish.

Paws
Cat on wet walkway /
Stretching to embrace the day /
Paws to wander why.

In the window
Sunlight fades from sky. /
Evening rises in windows. /
House in silhouette.

Truth
Digging up answers /
Is just like digging up bones. /
Results we’ll bury.

Palindrome day
Say Goodbye
To Palindrome Day.
It comes and it goes
Just the same way.
Some demand it
Have more to say.
But it comes and goes
Just the same way.
Put it in forward
Or reverse play:
02022020
Has the same sway.
There may have been
Much more in the clay
When the ground hog
Tested his shadow’s lay.
But if more winter comes
Or if winter goes today
02022020
Will carry us away.

Legacy
Clouds and shadows painted /
With tints of winter sunlight. /
Bare limbs full of gray.
