Winter Solstice

early morning wind;

snow blows

through the darkness

onto the garden shed

river birch leans

into a flaky

cloud  of feathers

on the roof

a pigeon nest rocks

twigs and grass

fly by my window

Disabled

I wake early

to lengthen the days

bedroom

shrouded in memories—

photos, shells, stones

yesterday’s  triumphs

and failures

measuring

the bones

Winter

morning stillness

a lone robin

invokes spring

“tzeeup, tzeeup”

frost gathers

on the sweet

gum tree

clings to the fruit

glistens on the grass

below

early face of morning

smooths

my spiny soul
