today a large owl
sits where pigeons like to roost
on winter branches

sun
the sun returning
from vacation streams through
grimy window panes
crystal
from empty orbits
death jealously looks upon
life’s crystal vision

drawing
a storm in the east
ghosts of memories retreat
a drawing of breath
flush
wind and rain and snow
and still those geraniums
flush pink with pleasure
waiting
lurking, foreboding
sits on the periphery
waiting for first light
ash
amidst the raindrops
flat white flakes like lint or ash
tumbling around us
caught
darkness creeping in
caught between two weather fronts
watching for the storm
tone
seasons of Thi-Wurd
voice, character, style and tone
writing and sharing
flowers
last summer’s flowers
still blooming in pots outside
tossed in winter storms
