tree lighting...
for a moment
I forget to grieve

Acorn #30, Spring 2013

fading colors
in her tapestry
the widow
weaves a new life
thread by thread

morning frost
on tulip petals...
her words
vanish before
they reach my heart

GUSTS No. 17, Spring/Summer 2013

an archaeologist
of sorrow and wonder
I excavate
this stony field
for fragments of poems
