Yes, winter will end.
And, yes, spring will soon arrive.
But not tomorrow.

25 February 2015
Ice on the windows,
On the sidewalks, on the roads.
Ice everywhere.

All I really want,
Right now, is one good night's sleep.
Even half of one.

22 February 2015
Trees weighted with snow,
Branches bent, touching the ground.
I'm staying inside.

Shadows on a wall.
A bird landing on a branch,
Then flying away.

A difficult week...
Trauma, pain, too little sleep...
With no end in sight,

No, April is not
The cruelest month. For me,
February is.

A Valentine's Day...
Spent quietly together,
Content with our life.

Two long sleepless nights...
Even reading is a chore..
So I'll try again.

11 February 2015
Cold rain on my neck,
Mud clings to my cane and shoes.
An unpleasant night.

Birds pecking the ground...
Dog watching through the window...
A long winter day...

I'm not nostalgic,
At least not very often.
Tomorrow beckons...

Waiting for midnight,
Hoping sleep will come by then,
Watching the moon rise.

"Too many martyrs
And too many dead..." Years ago
Phil Ochs got it right.

I'm growing older,
And I wonder, too often,
How did I get here?

4 February 2015
Born at mid-winter,
And winter is my season--
Cold, grey, and lonely.
4 February 2015
(Literally--Feb. 4 is 45 days from
the winter solstice, usually, and
45 days from the spring equinox.)

3 February 2015
Slept late and took naps,
Saw purple skies at sunset...
And played with the dog...
3 February 2015
(A perfect day?)

2 February 2015
Waiting for the dawn--
In the hours of darkness--
Suddenly, a light.

1 February 2015
The month I was born--
The coldest and darkest month--
Seems somehow fitting.
