earth

winter white in flight.
reigning down her blizzard might.
hush the deadly night.

the dancing of joy
under a wintry white sun.
blankets of blue sky.

gray bird on branch
singing a song of freedom.
for him upon plate.

i apologize.
limbs broken from weight of snow.
tree, i was thoughtless.

the gray elephant
ageless walker on the veld.
eyes have seen the past.

playing peek a boo
with small patches of blue sky.
hands soft as cotton.
