A Medley of Seven Poetic Works
she walks from the store
snow falls near La Tour Eiffel
cold baguettes tonight
—after photograph by Varsovianna
(Instagram, 19 Jan 2021: trois baguettes, s’il vous plait)
:::
pink ribbons
tied around stately trees
chainsaws waiting
ready to open up
the view of the new lake
:::
thoughts and prayers
do not wrap like blankets
a frigid night

Valentine surprise
a winter storm hits Houston
rain bells fill with snow
:::
a helicopter
sweeps the neighborhood tonight
I check all the locks
:::
broken smoke alarm
chirps on the ceiling all night...
counting only breath
:::
this tulip sings
at the edge of silence
a promise of Spring
