hunger pangs are quelled.

Silk flowers brighten an old grave at Yuma Pioneer Cemetery, Yuma, Arizona.


A desert graveyard—
even the dove’s best spring song
fails to rouse the dead.

these twisting, turning shadows
from my winter path?

Three Tiny Tales


1.
Picture an alley
where snow has changed the story—
waste into wonder!
 
2.
Winter lines her face
with names she can’t remember,
yet they give her grace.
 
3.
in a freezing room
a curtain for their blanket
happy to make love

A rising sun in winter overshadows a shed in the foreground as seen through a window in Yuma County, Arizona.
 
 

Mid-winter sunrise—
the clarity I long for
keeps eluding me.

Delicate Letters


1.
My ribs are branches
on which invisible birds
perch on winter nights.
 
2.
Enter, acrobats!
Begin your parade through town,
though the north wind moans.
 
3.
I lower my eyes
when I see the light in yours,
Sister Winter Moon.
