A Robin In February

The expectant morning's
snow frosted tree peeks through slats.
The half-blink of the cat.

The right eye is murky,
reflects a brown yellow sheen.
My brown-eyed girl song.

The mid-winter clouds
view the lands, plan to drop bombs.
Mulish clothesline sheets shake.

The cat drags a leather 
mouse. The hunter's maw widens.
Bone-hued birch trees pose.

A partly frozen 
dove blue river asks, " Where are they.."? 
Suns, sterling moons grin.

The dusk's lemon sky
surrounds the house- lamps, streetlights.
Tea, coffee stains on teeth.
