Four 3

Sudden Sunday snowfall;

slippery sidewalk surprise.

Four Two

Rain taps out a 

stuttering beat upon

the aluminum flashing

wrapped window sill.

Beads of moisture trickle

in random pattern

down the glass surface of

my office window;

the day as dark

as the mood 

it ushered in.

Four One

Once her hair hung down
her back
rich, shiny, black
Like a crows’ or Grackles’ feathers
Or piled up tight
in a bun
stuck with pins
you could barely see
Now age has cropped it
to a utilitarian length
silver white it shines
from between the flowers
she has painstakingly nurtured
in her gardens
like the full spring moon
high
in the daytime sky.
