the tiniest thread
connects life to life; soft silk
in a constant wind

harsh wind huffs and puffs
little pig me hides inside
I won’t let it in

hawk above highway
grabs small bird in its talons
wings beat back spring wind

(Interstate 99 South
between State College
and Altoona, PA)

birds are still singing

on the first warm night this month
car tires on rainy streets

I can’t see my breath
but I feel as though I can
snoring beside me

Orion sits low
spring half-moon spotlights the yard
still can’t see the dog

newfallen snowbright
erases the horizon
trees lean down to me

3.21.18

my ankles are cold

perhaps I should have worn socks

bright sun’s a trickster

3.16.18

in warrior pose
look back over my shoulder:
snow against the glass

Butler PA

a friendship renewed
with butter chicken and rice
then into March wind

finger hurts, pulsing
Builders Tea is nearly gone
worse yet, it’s snowing!

Bashō was my age
when he walked the narrow road
in drawings he’s old

“Such Great Heights” playing
in this café as I work;
our freckles aligned
