haiku

two feet of snow --freight train rolls on buried tracksplowing its own path

flap on the garageblowing in the wind--i'll check the mail tomorrow

lit by Polarisfifty-sixth of eighty-eight--Little Dipper

boiler kicks in--did it finally get as cold as i amor is it just bored?

sneaking into disrupt my comfort--the outside world

looking in the mirrori wonder whose face i see--where did I go?

spending timewith a loved one on his birthday--Berlin Trilogy

awakened by mewsand affectionate nuzzles--less charming than it sounds

brown when it's warmwhite in the winter:snowshoe hare

the seagull calls his flockthen harvests a clam dinnerdelivered by the sea

fully exposedvulnerability level 10:cracked open

weathered white shed --black roof absorbs the sun's rayswarming the winter

Lou stares out the windowclueless Ivar joins him there--cat FOMO

in the firepita charred logpokes through the snow

expensive to orderbut well worth the price:Hatch green chile

January morningsun glints off shiny spots--icy driveway

dark-eyed juncospecking the grass where i cleareda path for UPS

a frog's faceabove the waterthen gone

at the end of the roaddown the long tree-lined winding patha cat asleep on a stump

orange cat in one windowblack-and-white in the other--deer tracks in the snow
