a woman making a snow angel


Snow Angel

I shaped you in the snow
the last time it descended
from the misty sky above

gentle flakes fluttered
settled thickly upon barren earth—
forming soft cloud comfort

I carved a dream
with my happy soul, smiling,
my eyes searched the universe

there were no stars that night–
just a crystalline radiance, in which
I molded the dream.

    the rising of the silver moon
    is my twilight zone.

  • The Cobwebs

    I was leaning
    by the window
    standing outside
    looking in—

  • Wanderer

    by the river
    he looks lost
    his face appears ancient
    in rumination
    under the sycamores’
    embracing shade
    thinks he might see
    God

  • Touch

    your breath on my cheek,
    as I hold you close to me,
    silken infancy

  • Seasonal Fruit

    in a brief burst
    of fiery red and gold
