Treasures (poem)

Treasures

Since it’s Saturday

And it possibly snowed last night

(The wet sidewalk tells me something happened)

I believe I’ll stay inside

And go through those dusty dreams

In the attic

Until the blue skies appear

Clean (poem)

Clean

Your intentions

Are like lice on a nit comb

Every morning reshorn

And decontaminated

Rough Draft (poem)

Rough Draft

Lumbering through this winter lullaby

Mists mingle and chill the foothills

Stiffening the hardwood forests

It’s December nostalgia once again

And cozying up, I’m staying in

Warmed by oatmeal and cranberries

And buffalo check

Rough draft gray dissolving

Newsprinted (poem)

Newsprinted

Feeling journalistic

After the rain

Wanting to splash it out

On the front page

Although no words come

D.O.A.

It’s an obituary

Transposed (poem)

Transposed

Rewriting

The story

This

Is my alternate ending

Forest Floor Fusion (poem)

Forest Floor Fusion

What was now is

An assemblage of passage

And aromatic ascent

To winter days

Signaling pleasant sighs

Like the metal lattice floor register

In that old farmhouse

Warming my flannel nightgown

From within

Petal Scars (poem)

Petal Scars

Tribal sisters

Being in the hippie groove

Garlanding our chromatic thoughts

Like daisy chains

To create ephemeral glyphs
And dance
