winter – haiku and other animals

winter rain the smoothness of a kidney bean

my neighbor’s porch light for two months deep winter

my uncle from the stars of winter

the weight of Sunday winter clothing

bright winter morning
in another room
the kettle calls

ducks
come to my empty hands
winter

winter the scientific names of butterflies

thin winter moon I dust the old dog’s ashes

a winter fly bangs the ceiling thin groundhog soup

frozen grass I breathe out just to see the cloud

———–

distant sound of sirens through snowflakes winter seclusion

———–

blowing the crumbs off my keyboard I think of the old dog
