A Gray Light Sparkles
...
Branches thatch a spackled sky.
Snow lays itself down
to sleep lightly.
An airborne coyote-itch addles
drops of sunlight
until they drizzle.
Splatters of graying-green
on the hairy chops...

In darkness I sit,
beneath the lights of The Milky Way.

Below the Maples
...Last night a high wind
undressed the maple grove
it broke both twig and bough.
A flying carpet fell,
blood-tinted gold

all in a heap and litter.
If you walk an...

Cardinals kick up patches of sound,
red periods and full-stops
amid an increasing catawampus.

All spackled and new
Under dim-lit forsythia.
The reflection is shone
In the new fallen snow.
And base to the corner
Its' curiously known.
Each texture, each timber
So hallowed...
