This is a poem about loss -

The sun and songbirds rose,
to see the snowshell soften,
to see the light less low,
to see the tropics-green 
crocus leaf 
          spear! rebelliously!
through the thick and the heavy 
white.

Green, all but forgot these last months.
Life, all but without faith these last months.

The sun and songbirds and greens rose,
this day.

To craft a line that’s nice and tight 
about a failed attempt to write…
well, something just doesn’t seem right,
but I will not put up a fight;
I shall instead call it a night.
For if I rest my head, I might
through slumbered sleep gain some insight
quick captured at the dawn’s first light
a little gem, bedazzling, bright
the pulse to race, the heart, excite
and end this literary blight.

if Basho’s frog jumps
and no one hears the splash
katydids quarrel


does the sound
of one hand clapping
surprise the wind


cold mountain winds
an eerie sound of echoes
humming to themselves


a brown tinged cornfield
withers in the heat
as scarecrows weep


an empty birdfeeder
rattles in the breeze
a patient cat waits


city thunderstorm
awakened asphalt artist
oily painted rainbows
