winter silhouettes
a copse of sailboat masts cut
from the dawning sky
Dogs
any hope of sleep
spurned by the approaching dawn
and a snoring dog
–
sleeping dogs-
the violent death
of a cardboard box
Remnants
thousands of moments
the taste of a prior life
memories of you
–
late winter-
pockmarks
in the snow
Focus
eyes looking inward
staring into the darkness
barely held at bay
–
cleansing breaths-
the forest
whispers
Low
the low morning sun
full of threats and promises
through the falling snow
–
skies alight-
the rumble
low and throaty
Burn
locked in my safe room
the world burning down outside-
is it hot in here?
–
crimson sky-
ashes drifting
on hot winds
Memories
open bed pickup
memories caught by the wind
litter the highway
–
twisted fingers-
brittle pages of
her wedding album
Winter
coruscating snow
slithers across the highway
hastened by the wind
–
morning sun-
cherry blossoms
in the snow
Snow
after the thunder
the sun dances in the snow
through the parting clouds
–
winter morning-
a snowy egret
dips her bill
