February 2025Please don't open the dam,
Violently flood fresh water with salt.
It's been about time this bridge will weather and collapse.
Though my cupped hands ache for brine,
You keep me longing for the glow with a bright smile on my face.
I need to keep smiling, because the glow will never stop.
It could never stop, and that can mean...

February Fog
There is in February fog
an eventuality that must befall us all.
As if the earth were vanishing,
or one were going blind, the fog sets in,
absorbing all that is familiar –
trees, houses, roads, sky . . .
And then the windows – like our eyes –
glaze over gray, and what was once so clear,
always there, we can no...

February Gray
February Gray
The weather and my mood, dismal as KING 5’s Headline News
reports of politics, war and a cold rain forecast for tomorrow,
makes me take a break from TV or staring out the window
at gray Seattle skies to take a walk down on the waterfront.
Only 5PM, yet pier 62 dock lights are already...

Curly SerenadeThe awning of Ovis, a shade from the sun,
Cast patterns of light, where her story begun.
Not rain-streaked glass, but a warm, open space,
Where her curly brown hair framed a captivating face.
She moved through the tables, a sun-dappled dream,
Her presence a current, a vibrant sunbeam.
"A light, if you have one?" her soft voice inquired,
Her eyes, like...

FebruaryIf February had, at least,
Another couple days,
We wouldn’t look for spring
In all the normal kinds of ways.
If it feels cold, we’d simply shrug -
It’s winter, after all -
And when the stores sell chocolate eggs,
We wouldn’t heed the call.
I know it’s just two boxes
On the calendar, but hey -
When February starts to March,
We know...

A February WalkA February Walk
Nice cool weather
Bright cloudy sky
Peaceful quiet lake
Resting seagulls,
Swans and pigeons
Shadows of trees
Again changed and
Cleared everything
By a great walk

Congratulations on 90th Birthday2025.2.26
Dear A, today would have been your 90th birthday.
Thank you for being my friend, neighbor, and be your carergiver.
I remember all those songs,
You sang in your language.
You had such strong lungs and soprano voices.
I also remember you said,
"Where have you been all my life?"
You repeated that quite few times.
Each time, I just sang "You needed...

Life's Unspoken First LawLife's First Unspoken Law
(A lone voice whispers)
You do know deep love
Even if it sometimes hurts
From separation from family or friends who have crossed over
And all things left may seem broken or unfinished
It does not rust
Like iron or steel abandoned in one of life's forbidden forests
But forever will bloom and flow like a torrent...

HimaBindu: A Star in Winter's NightIn icy peaks, your name is born,
Hima, a whisper of winter's morn.
Bindu, a droplet, pure and fine,
Together merged, a beauty divine.
Like snowflakes gently falling deep,
Your heart remains, in slumber, keep.
Bindu's tiny form, a universe holds,
Reflecting dreams, like winter's tales unfold.
In frozen landscapes, your soul takes flight,
A gentle breeze stirs, on a winter's night.
Himabindu, a name...

Late February 2025 steel skies
blinding sun
Georgia’s Winter
praising arms of oaks
bare
hopeful for buds, for Spring
will soon appear; daffodils
will break the earth; proclamation
all things are new, again, renewed; rain
mixed with thunder and lightning; grace puddles

This Morning At February EndAs the apricot sun rises,
In the hollow creek rise flows like fog
Biting cold surrounds me
Shivering happens from my toes up
The warmth of the house's interior
Invites me to come in
Even though duty awaits the housewife
A day of ordinary begins...
