Nothing Beige Can Stay
I do not think that Spring
exists amongst the beige
and grey.
The bulbs trapped ‘neath
fractal crust as Winter has his
way.
Winter Light
In the available light
coming through two windows large and curtained
on the wall behind the bed
I see from across the room just the top of your head . . .
Winter Blues
Here
summer is as brief as youth.
Winter is an uninvited guest
who settles in to stay . . .
Winter Whales of Lake Superior
The ancient guardians of the big lake
Sometimes seen
More often heard . . .
Adventures
Hidden pathways off the open road,
secret footprints follow where they lead.
Children often wonder where they go,
they trace the imprints left in fallen snow . . .
Seventy-Four Miles
I’m trying not to hold too tightly
to these seventy-four miles between
Superior and Bayfield Wisconsin
beside my ninety-two-year-old mother . . .
