Small Shiny Babies



Hanging icicles
Capture and refract the light--
Frozen rays of sun.



 

 Pick up truck drives past
Like a proud rolling puppy.
(What am I saying?)




Footprints in the ice;
Shiny package on driveway;
Blue sky and puffed clouds.



 Shade tree in the snow
Keep the sunlight from the ground,
Showing us the earth.

 

 The bend in the road;
What is behind it this time?
Never can be sure.

 

In this brightened air
Fingers freeze when gloves are off.
But I feel alive!

 

Brown and green pine trees
Stand together in the woods--
Life/Death side by side.


Sucking the maple
Plastic bottles wait for sap--
Small shiny babies.
