ferns quietly unfurling,
fallen petals and tiny sleeping fawns,
shadows on rocks and on thoughts

Morning Fog
the sun rose, wrapped tightly within the silence of the morning fog
Lately
marbles and crystals,
oak tree shadows on an unmade bed,
snow drops and snow flakes
and red velvet cupcakes
on a happy winter afternoon
Winter Through the Window in March
at first, it is heavy winter
and then it is lightly not winter–
lasting a tiny moment, allowing the crocuses and the snowdrops
to sing their siren songs of spring,
knowing all the while—
it will be winter through the window in March again
Morning Light
she writes poems with her eyes closed
in the darkness of the night,
but the words escape her memory
with the early-morning light
Lately
puppies in the snow
cold winter landscapes
greys and blues and soft amber horizons
Storm
she was a roiling,
sinister
storm
Winter
a bare beauty—
solitary,
exposed,
implied,
intuited
Stillness
a stillness
a quiet
a smile
and
a nod
Early
early, with a hush and a heavy silence,
while the kitchen smells of coffee
and the pup sleeps under warm blankets,
the sun calls at the door
