Winter sun

Summer is golden
butterscotch, January
skim milk, thin weak pale.

Morning ritual

Light breaks. I heed the
call to darkness, cup rich black
magic in my hands.

House near Woodstock

A’s dream–a fairy
cottage in the woods–simply
too good to be real.

All nighter

Weighing sleep against
productivity, I write
into a new day.

Hope

Dark fear crackling at
the edges, the heart beats on,
pulsing core of light.

Early daffodils

Like green periscopes
tiny shoots peer from muddy
beds searching for sun.

Daylight savings spring ahead

Night pushed back, a dark
blanket kicked aside as the
sun stays wide awake.

Christmas LED lights

Like laser pointers
they blind in red green blue as
they save the planet

Longest night of the year

Soon, darkness recedes.
But tonight I wrap myself
in velvet-starred black.

Long walk in sunshine

Dog is lagging yet
clear skies pale green leaves urge me
to linger longer.
