back from long weekend
dancing through the plant front gate
eager for the day



my car took all the nickels I had to rub together
to fix over the weekend-
it was pure joy to come to work at 5AM this morning

in the fog
the naked trees
are no longer lonesome

in the hush of a grey dawn -
snow is whispering

heavy snow
closes the local school
shed roof bird tracks

wind chill
the thought of my lover's food
takes me back

gray morning
a dog
walks his man

fresh snow
blackbirds eat scabby apples
left on the tree

Here we go again
snow and frosty weather
autumn ends

snowmelt
the world turns slowly green
rivers swell

Mountains of snow,
Search for a forage sparrows -
Crisis

Growing darkness
The sun will go out
On street lantern

Late autumn -
It is latent by a gray fog
Sacrament of night

now we see
birds on bare limbs
peeping in are we

the branches are bare
the world grows smaller
without you

sweetly-scented leaf pile
even on the wind
your absence finds me

the season changes
this lingering stillness
remains

betwixt
the limbs of trees
a lone lilac bush
is reached by sunrays
enough to be thankful

first snow -
the silver birches
dressed in new coats

rook chatter
tracking each snowflake
to the end

Lots of lovely snow in Bradford on Avon!

through naked trees
the old cow stares:
antlered

snow
skeletal trees turn negative
pawprints

migrating geese -
another window where
curtains lift

oies de passage -
une autre fenêtre où
les rideaux se soulèvent

frost falling
like the soft paws of a cat
gently spreading
