Trilogy For My FatherIMPRINTS

His shoes by the front door make me cry,
like his glasses resting atop an
unfinished crossword
and his toothbrush in its holder
the bristles still damp.
And I wonder...
Did he brush his teeth...

In the Land of the Midnight SunLong ago, in the fastness of the north
lived a people known as the Inuit.

Was as sweet as perfume of roses
And as enjoyable...

Buzzards and FlamingosWhen winter months become morose
And everything around is blue and froze
Gets disheartening even for the eskimos
Their morale starts to dwindle and decompose
They tread most lightly on cautious tippytoes
For fear their neighbors will become bellicose
They bite...

Once Upon a Frozen StarOh, was it in this dark-Decembered world
we walked among the moonbeam-shadowed fields
and did not know ourselves for weight of snow
upon our laden parkas? White as sheets,
as spectral-white as ghosts, with clawlike hands
thrust deep into our...

Kansas HibiscusShe watched her move
The potted Chinese Hibiscus inside,
Sliding it over the not yet frozen ground,
Hefting it slowly over the six wood back steps,
Resting and breathing,
Hands on hips.
Each year she would think of helping.
But she didn’t...

On Snow ShovellingOn Snow Shovelling
A foot of snow fell by night
With no let-up in sight.
(“Brrr, it’s cold out there.”)–
A mutt rebounds past my window,
As I contemplate the morning weather,
While sipping my hot cup of coffee.
By the street-lamp’s...

But he met his...

A Storm Came LateFrigid, knife-edged winds from the northwest
sweep down like hungry raptors on
pewter gray skies. Feral eyed, keen on destruction.
Late May. Sullen skies discharge sleet and glacial,
stinging rain. Threatening each newly exposed
green leaf and sprout. Frozen...

I Am a ChameleonI am an enthusiastic rainbow chameleon
until I am a cumbersome ox
Wait! Hold up! Stop!

I slide from granite rock to mica rock
slithering in wetness, shaking my...

It’s a red parka, like the start of dawn

Softly she bows her head, looks to the ground
Her skin is like ivory,...

strategically placed to spare us the dread hole,
snow scaling the tops of our shoes
to compete with the ice in our hearts.

The Snow As It FallsDreams as vivid as the,
Pure driven snow.
Untouched,
Watching as it,
Falls perfectly and flawlessly.
A blanket of white snowflakes,
Lying on the ground motionless.
A lonely field of white,
On the frozen ground.
When in the distance,
I see a figure in a...

Making fresh tracks in the blanket of snow,
Bundled up in my parka, muffler, and gloves
Biding my time with no specific place to go,
Watching the sun shining through...
