after the storm
pearl city, snow
smitten by apricot gold
tin night air
corner brick restaurant
burning windows
heart of January:
soaring cello
probes the sky
susurration of snow
lilac shell light
the foghorn’s cry
under streetlamps
swarms of bee shadows:
flying snow
rich movie details
as the fairy tale flakes
glitter down

ofalonecrow
adrift
in the snow globe
of the city
deep freeze
the snow speaking
underfoot
frigid indigo night:
hot bath:
reincarnation
Moon looking upon
frozen streets
rolls her eye
imagining a bird’s
heartbeat on this
crystalline night
Orion pulls the moon
through the star sea
fuming smoke
frozen embraces
carved in dark glitter
haunted passageways
cat dusk
white temples of snow
in the violet cold
melting houses
write the libretto for
a winter’s tale
pre-dawn indigo
squirrels thread
tapestry trees
