Early Valentine?

 

 

 

 

 

 

It looks damp, feels cold,
No matter thermometer
It's a gray, dim day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Bird flies to feeder,
Then another bird flies to
Feeder, another..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Melting heart in snow--
Accident of the winter?
Early valentine?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Pampas grass tussled
Against the fence barrier.
Fence holding--for now.

 

 

 

Within the dark house
Porch light glows like a beacon
In a reflection.

 

 

 

 

This dark cold morning
Even the snow fields seem gray--
Icy mist descending.

Rooms and a chimney
Lie beneath this mound of earth:
Graveyard of a house.

 

 

 

 

Today the woods sing;
Always when I am alone.
(I am hearing things!)
