only a few left
leaves of Japanese maple
red lanterns swaying

my friends are still here
in the voices of children
playing hide and seek
2256
my elderly aunt
updates me on every ache
winter and life brings
2255
a cold gray morning
cat nuzzles into the warmth
my ceramic mug
2254
the miser counting
thirty five pounds and sixpence
over and over
2253
sound of maple leaves
or is it rain— too lazy
to pull the curtains
2252
weeks after Christmas
leftovers stacked in the fridge
raccoons won’t touch them
2251
late winter raindrops
moonlight shimmering
fur of sleeping cats
2250
how many forests
had to be chopped down
my box of Kleenex
2249
the gingerbread man
my daughter reads to her son
people will eat you
2248
boulder
worn down by the raging stream
becomes a pebble
2247
flouncing up the road
does in my headlights— they arc
back into darkness
2246
juggling coffee
and four month old baby
my retirement
2245
even lying still
in a pool of blue stillness
creates other worlds
2244
holy days are done
pine tress shrouded in tinsel
waiting on the curb
