New Year’s snow

for once I remember a dream

Christmas Eve

between the sirens serenity

a sheltered spot

where the internet ends creaking in the wind

invasive bittersweet

escaping the war in my head

shadow

white with frost we almost rhyme

north face

the fall softened by moss

i insist on a whisper

fallen leaves

laundromat coyote

snout out of order

death

in my ear the drone of a fly

woodpecker cackle

where a caterpillar hung one dancing leaf

where a bird entered

the world as an egg

in the company

of mushrooms flying your leaf
