a fuzzy head this morning
with too much to do.

The winter solstice
and a full lunar eclipse —

A lone goose flew past —
where is your mate, flock, your vee?
Can birds be loners?

Dog nudges the ball
toward me — I ignore him til
his stare wears me down.

Kid concert last night —
they waved their cellphones during
the very last tune.

Sun shining today —
fields are blinding in whiteness —
winter wonderland.

Looked in the mirror–
red eyes stared back. Need some air
and, perhaps, Visine.
