rotting peaches
to be discarded
sooner than later
2370
two wives, two houses
my three cats now six
my double vision
2369
the midnight quiet
a single drop of water
echoes echoes
2368
snare brushes
a quiet steady tempo
rain on dry leaves
2367
my frugal uncle
puts up a 1982 calendar
same as 2021
2366
no drunken screams
just a few firecrackers
we begin anew
2365
a jogger’s footfall
the only sound
new year morning
2364
another new year
17 to 71
what a strange journey
2363r
a windless day
leaves on a tree shiver
quicksilvery squirrels
2362
constellations
of colored lights
dark road home
Xmas 2020
hundred feet tall now
that small little pine
we saved one Christmas
mary and joseph
in the returns line
the scent of myrrh
doe nuzzles
a deer made of lights
and wire
my elderly aunt
at Christmas dinner— proud
of her costco pie
2361
bicycling at dawn
bowling down milk bottles
news delivery
2360
public library
giving away children’s books
gifts under the tree
2359r
squirrels pick berries
ferment all winter
birds pay any price
2358
jacket, scarf, and cap
stuff in a couple of cats
ready now for bed
2357
the chinese vase
shines with a spring scene
outside cold gray winds
2356
she rubs her face
on the cup of hot coffee
no birds to chase
2355
she bows, blushes
invites us to long for her
the naked maple
2354
a water color
framed in my window
winter’s first rain
2353r
how a flame resents
a fluttering moth
never stays the night
