first snowfall . . .
a chirp to remind us
the battery's low | sballas |
midnight mass

from within | sballas |
quiet twilight
grandpa prunes thin limbs
with his pocketknife | sballas |
full moon
the static
in his touch | sballas |

rustles | sballas |
moonless night??

rings and rings | sballas |
dead of winter . . .

calling home??

before her words | sballas |
lifting fog . . .

of a mourning dove | sballas |
the comfort
of her conversation
gentle rain | sballas |

the pull of sand under
my inner child | sballas |

stuffed with eagles | sballas |
at the goldfish grave
we form a circle
of river stones | sballas |

the short twilight | sballas |
warm evening breeze
the cemetery gate
still open | sballas |
a monitor
measures my heartbeat
the sound of rain | sballas |
tug of her hand??
a heron one breath away
from the sky | sballas |
dying
in birdsong
day | sballas |
sultry night
a passing train
shakes the shack | sballas |
warm rain??

of the petroglyph | sballas |
left on the shrine

from the cliff | sballas |
stepping stones
she moves
a little closer | sballas |
