winter fog
as nostrils clear in
warm showers
winter fog
as nostrils clear in
warm showers
warm heater ~
in chill wind expands
white clouds

gray weekend ~
peace breached by a yawn —
an airplane
misty sun ~
the shadows o’ firs
glow white

new year wind ~
the scent o’ new book
gloss paper
frosty morn ~
doesn’t want to wake
snoring truck
a brisk evening
o’ warm colors &
e’en the wind whistles
winter rain ~
my throat aches with sweet
sharp mint tea
early dusk ~
shades itself ’hind firs
full moon

crow perched on a fir
both rinse their black leaves ~
cold showers
