Mid February
Mockingbird has a new song
More! More!
February walk
Puppy in a sweater
Still she shivers
Droopy yellow leaves
Amaryllis says “enough!”
Winter doldrums
a collage
snapping
against
birdsong
burrowed deep
in the contented silence
across a fertile land
pressed flowers
sleeping crickets
the neighbor’s July wave
waiting for Monday’s thaw
