Skeleton of memories
Winter killed our tree. /
Don’t know if it was before, /
during, or after /
your death. Dead limbs hang barren: /
no buds, no leaves, no cherries. /
Skeleton of memories.

Kindness
Kindness flowers — /
even in winter’s depths — /
in full scent and bloom.

Cup
Rain fills the footsteps. /
Water fills the gray days /
and molds winter’s cup.

Failure
Is their poetry /
in failure? Bleak winter sun /
pockets its promise.

Possum
One winter’s night /
a dish rattles; a possum /
scavenges cat food.
