here comes the suncelebrating George Harrisonon his birthday
the aging veganforgoes the cheesesstares longingly at the eggs
in a boxin a storage locker in Texasmy grandfather's watch
winter flurryblows hurriedly through townleaving no trace
i sit undisturbedin the old spot watching othersflock to the new spot
this week brought20 inches of new snow--yet I hear birds chirping!
standing on the guardrailsnow-covered pines as its backdrop--a raven
pleasant walkon a sunny cold day--and then, oh, the wind...
as a childi was often told i should smile more--why? [silence]
my wife cries outbut i cannot go to her--the cats cry louder
the windclears the air as it blowsthe dust away
the cat createsa safe spacefrom an empty box
snowy cold insideswollen wooden door won't close--step stool ad hoc latch
snowflakes flurry pastmy window like staticon an old tv
