before dawn arrives
the snow still touches the sky
with white fingertips
Snowprints
winter
Colorado Born and Bred
Berthoud Pass driving
sisters learn two years apart
same day, different face
Downhill for the Uphill
2020 ends
in the same way it began
(with downhill skiing)
2020 ends
nearly every way different
than a year ago
2020 brings
a balance of sorrow, joy
hidden behind masks
2020 ends
with screens controlling our lives
(searching for meaning)
2021
with its 5-syllable self
will bring us new hope
Ice, Water, Steam
a cold winter walk
along the Colorado
right where it begins
a hot springs retreat
to strip the cold off our skins,
bring heat to our bones
The Tree Savior
some rough beginnings
can end in the perfect way
for a perfect day
Snowantine
no snow day for us
but i ski between meetings
beating remote games
Teen Life
some glow before snow
our weekend wrapped in moments
without argument
Sayonara, Mi JardÃn
from smoky skies to ice
all the devil’s handiwork
(Earth in humans’ grip)
Coronatine, Day Nine
trying to find peace
in simple, everyday walks
with green below snow
Coronatine, Day Seven (Let’s Build a Snowman)
even if it’s small
even if it’s too chunky
it helped us get through
even if it’s spring
even if Corona wins
it helped us smile
let’s build a snowman
even if the snow is soft
we can make this work
