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.

Untimely Matters
When past and present
coalesce,
we enter
a different dimension
just the other side of time.

Cautionary Rhyme
As much as we don’t
like feeling confined, sometimes
it’s best to remain
within the lines – a guide some
restless drivers undermine.

What We See
Today I drive toward a horizon of
light. If I were
driving the
other
way
I’d head
toward a sky
still streaked in gray.
Changing position changes what we see.

For A Moment
Without warning we’re
connected again and for
a moment I don’t
miss you because you’re right here.
Then, even in that
same moment, I know you’re
forever gone and
I’m left with an aching
mix of greeting and goodbye.

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.

Red, White, and Blue
When that swoop of red
met that swoop of blue amidst
a field of white, I
wondered if we were in for
a patriotic
fight, but that cardinal and jay
formed a more perfect
union. They pecked not at each
other but at seed discovered.

Done With Done
Done in and undone
by this blast of snow… the truth
is I was simply
done until the sun arrived,
and began a slow
undoing of what the storm
had so fiercely tried to do.

Catch The Drift?
As snow drifts downward
kids’ spirits soar – a no-school
Monday lies in store.
