hunkering down
frigid day and warm belly--
bean soup and a book

rusty skate key
in Grandma's gnarled hands--
pigtails and scraped knees

disembowelment--
praying for more Mamdanis
flush all the sewage

icicles dripping--
the tick tick ticking
of the metronome

winter windowsill--
resting on a damp sponge
the little lady

breath fogging in frosty air
pa rum pum pum pum

Ode to the flocks of turkeys from the woodlands that surround our home:
wild turkeys cluck--
waddlers wading through the snow
all in one long line

buries red, blue, and yellow
backyard beachball

whistling gust of wind--
weathervane rooster twirls
snow flurries whooshing

basking in sunbeams
beyond sliding glass door--
warm bright bonfire

soothing tones or angry voice
plants bloom or wither

good morning blink blink
a moment of afternoon--
daylight fading fast

tamarack's soft gold--
spun from the year's fading light
autumn's whispered tale

so similar and yet
separate yet connected--
orange clementine
