Fly Away, Bird
The swish of heaven glimpsed
beneath in girl's Winter
eyes — this solo bird, she's
large seen by blue. She
beats me, with her song —
memory streaks the air
childhood, womanhood
with her song, she beats
on me.
I also have wings,
heartbeats. Beneath
my ruin, feathers.
We chase feathers —
The bird say
Winter's shadow where
branches once spoke
her tongue —
she never lifts off...

Winter flees on
Pensive wings
Leaving behind ephemeral ice
Longs to taste warm sunlight -
Inhale lilac’s perfume.

Ridin' Through the FogThe fog sits heavy on broken ground,
Snow lays light where the stubble’s browned.
No sun, just hush and hoofbeat slow,
And breath that drifts like chimney smoke.
The cows stand scattered, heads hung low,
Dark shapes caught in a pale gray glow.
I ride out quiet, don’t make a sound...
They know this hat, this horse, this ground.
A calf’s come early,...

Herodotus Theory of WinterHerodotus thought that the sun,
When blown from its course, summer's done.
That wasn't quite true,
Was maybe coo-coo,
But thinking about it is fun....

His Thoughts are My Thoughts
No button can unwind the failures I have faced.
Nobody can take the place of my precious Lord.
He has been both my questions and my answers;
He has been the strength of my recovery.
I would recommend Him to my closest friends;
I'd vouch for His counsel even to my enemies.
Success is not determined in the immediate;
time will...

UnheardI gave my all,
only to be unseen.
Numb.
Broken.
Another man told to "carry it."
But I'm done pretending.
I hurt.
I matter.
And even if no one hears me
I hear me.

Dinner BellThe sun will shine,
The moon will rise.
The nights will always glimmer.
The birds will fly,
The bugs will glide,
The people will hide for winter.
Everyday subsidies,
Everyday I survived,
I still don’t feel like a winner.
All the plates will be shined,
All the guests get invites,
But I’ll still eat alone for...

Winter Treewinter tree
scribble on paper
shattered glass
aging masterpiece
blood vessels
interrupted sleep
morning bed hair
porcelain crazing
drought dry earth
think quickly
fungal strands
frozen pond uh-oh
straw on floor
slept-in sheets
did I lock the door
letter from a pocket
can’t reach that itch
tickly cough
grandad’s skin
winter tree
