the mauve bloom
of a Christmas rose
bursts through snow —
part of me thrives
even in the darkest winter

Moonbathing 7, autumn/winter 2012-2013

September dusk
fading light
through monarch wings

bottle rockets #28, winter 2012

city bus
a diversity
of ring tones

Frogpond, 35:3, 2012

all that remains
of this childhood dream
white-washed bones
and a feathered wing
still flapping in the breeze

tinywords 12:1, October 2012

all I need
to learn about letting go...
the emptiness
at the end of each exhale
again returns to fullness

bottle rockets 14:1, summer 2012

first cold day
the cat kneads
a patch of sunlight

The Heron's Nest XIV:2, June 2012

starless night
the small comfort
of tree lights

bottle rockets 14:1, summer 2012

shooting star
my wish for
an unhurried life

The Heron's Nest XIII, 2: June 2011
