Dainty branches wear
lacy snow mittens — they wave —
Good morning, Village.

I hear the footfalls
clump clump clump up wooden stairs
my coffee’s arrived
January 27, 2018
The salmon’s cooking —
Maple-syrup mustard glaze —
A heavenly smell.

My flu knows no bounds.
I wheeze, cough, and blow my nose—
the flu trilogy.
January 22, 2018
The rain pocks the snow,
Ice and slush mix in puddles —
The bleak midwinter.

Lone goose overhead
Sky leaden with hints of cream
Snow later today
January 7, 2018
Dawn lights the pink wall
Apple tree limbs cast shadows
Illusion of warmth
