the ache for beauty
whence comes
spring to rescue us all?
so begins the end—
hosta spears peek
through the debris
of winter’s last gasp
comes a moment
the end of February
I’m thinking of cicadas
do they wait for me?
i wish it were not so
there is no hurt
like the pain
a family can inflict
it must be innate
puppy pulls on his leash
how does he know
I’ll follow him anywhere?
the wide, wide universe
orca, eider, penguin
88 keys on a piano
millions upon millions
of us, all on one small dot
the calm of winter
quiet snowfall
beaded whirlwinds
a gentle white

that deep, dark red
cardinals at dusk
their eagle eyes
find every seed
