old year
new year
the cat sleeps
New Year’s day
waking the frozen
wind chimes
before my eyes
amaryllis plant blooms
first dream in the new year
yew tree
holds its breath
first snow
snowflakes
sweeten
the ocean
halfway across
the frozen river
coming or going?
after the snow
100 paper cranes
cling to the evergreen
up to our knees in snow
taking the long way
home
snowflake
do you wish you were
in Paris this morning?
patiently waiting
tea cools
snow falls
climbing this mountain
counting footsteps
counting snowflakes
shoveling
around a chatty neighbor
snow piles up
spinning spinning
disguised as a crow
swallowing snow
far from the storm
watching the weather channel
my father shivers
lazy day
watching icicles melt
nothing more
midwinter present
flowers
wrapped in snow
in the meantime
a year passes
her blue shawl unravels
spider
i’m happy to share the bathroom with you
this cold winter night
shoveling snow
under the full moon —
my neighbors seem friendlier
plastic plant
on the side of the road
do you feel the cold?
midnight loneliness
drip drip drip drip drip
icicles
heron
fishing for the moon
one long cold evening
sweeping snow
the broom loses strands of straw
what do I lose?
December morning
wearing 8 different shades
of black
winter fireflies
the flickering lights
in my neighbor’s window
this long red light
enough time
to inhale winter
waking from a deep sleep
nothing is the same
winter solstice
waiting for the snow to arrive
that’s how much i miss
having company
