...Winter storm. 
Question marks 
fall like snow 
on shoulders bent 
with seeking.

Hollow caverns 
where certainty 
once lived
echo chambers

Face pressed

An old woman battered with facial features that hung on her face, 
Disconnected and hanging. 
She leans forward in her blumonge, waterproof, u...

like the desert for rain
the thoughts of your warm places
dance on my tongue like tangy candy
saturating my palate and

...Biscuits like friends
I'd like to portray
Are best rediscovered
On the rainiest day

The kettle it steams

A Walk Through a Small Park

...My lady friend and I sit on stumps. When she sings
she rings the woods with a monarch's butterfly wings.

A crowd of bikers
on foot as hikers
in thick with woods
unsaddles moods.

Old ladies ...

In the morning light, my bones feel heavy,  
Each breath is a whisper, a plea to be free.  
The sun spills gold, but I see only gray,  
A weary heart trudging through another day.

...I watch the harbor through the falling snow
the sky and sea form one vast, gray tableau
the sun is nothing but a weak, background glow
the scene draws me, as if hypnotically.

Wormwood smell

...I came back weary from the distant road,
Yet I returned singing, calling it "homeland."
Golden plains, stretching into the blue sky,
I longed for the scent of your wormwood.
Soft, dusty earth, sw...

   Dissolves rigid in simmering spring
   Ached ankles pummel, putrid pond

Winter in the Mind

...Cold air at the door
Blanket of white snow
Forlorn the trees sag
Drooping branches bare
Crystals of frost creep

Yet it is warm
The fire burns hot
The blanket tight
The coffee steams
