Brief thaw, pre-spring
Sparrows share what little’s there
Charity takes wing

There is a season –
A time for ev’ry purpose
Under the heavens
(Ecclesiastes 3:3. A found haiku)

It’s best when
It’s not the hard places
That stand out.

fiery shades
warm icy-
rooftop experience

Icy winds gather
Treasures by dumpster
Most will miss

Empty nest
Egg, emptied
Spent on health
Caring not
Whether they
Lose their nest
What matters
Is breathing
Each other

Can’t make sense
Of this list.
Beat and spent.
Ten milk jugs.
Nothing else
In my cart.
Almost done.
Can’t sign check.
Mortified.

Searching for her God,
She captures His signature –
Snowflakes on trashcans

Pay no mind
when her mind
no longer recognizes you.
Just love,
and repeat.
