Why?

Why search for meaning

when it’s right here before us

if we’d pause and look?

Long Distance

A lone duck calls. No

answer comes. She swims and waits,

then wings her way home.

surveying the day

ahead, I decide to go

back to bed

Simple Rituals

Simple rituals

start and end the day – morning

coffee, evening wine.

Not Yet

Finally having

come to earth, that snow is quite

reluctant to go.

Unsnowed By Snow

Stubborn snow. Outside

it’s almost sixty degrees

and it still won’t go.

What they say about

some house guests is also 

true of snow – you’re glad

to see them come and you’re much

happier to see them go.

Marked And Noted

All along the road

brown-stained snow – reminder of

collective passage

Wayward

Starting from here, I

finally made my way to

there and still was lost.
