blowing snow

blowing snow
flying a kite,
the old monk.

making the empty
room emptier
housefly

heavy snow

heavy snow
erasing everything
even my name

With his tongue

With his tongue out
the little boy

catching snowflakes

traveling through falling snow

traveling through falling snow,
the same snow making her cheeks wet,

what rapture

scattered by a dog

scattered by a dog
a pile of wet leaves
autumn cold

cold!

cold!
pull out her blanket
moths scatter

kite leaning
against my window
falling snow

so long

so long
little kite
since I’ve seen you

knocked over trash can

knocked over trash can
in the moonlight
stray dog

instruction manual

I want to hear

I want to hear her voice
from the other room
how far; Paris

fresh snow

fresh snow
making snow angels
my 46th birthday

i tell her i love her

for M

i tell her i love her
under her coat’s hood
a smile

watching the snow fall

watching the snow fall
a faint lullaby
from the other room

a small glove

a small glove
in the gutter
city snow

the small child

the small child
wrapped in a winter quilt
snow viewing

dark winter sea

dark winter sea
the lonely ringing
of a buoy

a man & a woman

a man & woman
at a stoplight
future lovers

early morning

late for work
leaving the heat of her body
the crunch of snow

early morning breast feeding

early morning breast feeding
mother and child fallen asleep
heavy snowfall

the old man shovels snow

the old man
shoveling snow
black bird on a wire

winter sea

dark winter sea
a lone boat
bobbing

standing back to back

standing back to back
an undefeatable army
my lover and i

two song sparrows

two song sparrows
chase each other furiously
an old woman blushes

laughing to himself alone

laughing to himself alone-
a clown in the rain

a mother sings

a mother sings
her child’s eyes
heavy – heavier

melting snow

melting snow
a small lost glove

snow storm

snow storm
the picture show
playing for no one

mourning

mourning
she gives her
body to me
