(Re)solution
ironic notice
as the words come flooding in
(yet i can’t stop them)

no. i had no plan.
no plan for any of this.
(nor a solution).
Puppy Thoughts
Mama, a salad?
is that what i wanted?
you know me better

instead i’ll cuddle
as sweet as the day is long
keeping your night warm

How Should I Live?
like La Reina
finding comfort in each space
no matter size; sun


Snowprints
before dawn arrives
the snow still touches the sky
with white fingertips

Mountain-Eating Clouds
the bowl is open
for us to earn winter skins
winter wind and all

Shadows and Needles
like leftover trees
after Christmas joy is gone
this is our country

Puffed Pockets of Hope
kitty loves jackets
Patagonia-repaired
perfectly pink warmth

January 6, 2021
my kitty comfort
is no comfort on this day
(day of infamy)

It’s Been a Year…
and the wheels still spin
and we try and wish and blow
and hope for a change
