Junco hyemalis

foretelling arrival of winter
the bird begins  to gather debris

Startled Awake

He calls out to me in the darkness
He has learned to sleep on his own
But still finds himself restless and yearning
For my mother arms
And my mother warmth

Lauds: Psalm 90:14

light reaches beyond
its capabilities from behind
three sisters

By the Bonfire’s Light

There in the city they know all about
laughing by diamond light,
living in palaces,
and delighting in feasts.
Those are things I will never know,
Nothing of precious stones,
Marble houses,
Or overflowing tables.
