(Im)permanence

this choice will break me
no matter what i decide.
so i should decide. 

(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
