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.

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

“I can still run to the store.”

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

UNTITLED

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