10/31/17: Holiday Greetings

and the punny

messages wash up like so

many hole-y sheets

10/30/17: My Strange Love for Objects

alligator clip—

why is your loss so painful

a letting-go?

10/29/17: After the Furnace Sparks

then your throat-

clearing, halting first stir,

and sustained sigh

10/28/17: Seeking Warmth

no fire in or

around here—just air perfumed

with smoke

10/27/17: A Sense of Things

just dawn and

already an armada

of cloud shadows

10/26/17: Revision

pages like

pools—the alphabet

swimming backstroke

10/25/17: The Gaps I Mean

what if to see

is to repair—to miss to

rest?

10/24/17: Idling Thoughts

the calendar flipped

around again I begin

to imagine snow

10/23/17: One Hundred Percent Chance

smeared light

outside a black window

and pinprick rain

10/22/17: Waking Again Before Dawn

grateful the sun

does not shamble about

as I do
