The frozen world
creates the leaf’s
next incarnation of beauty
Frozen Memory
I dreamed of the marsh in winter
and saw tawny wheat growing in sand as soft as a cloud.
Ice Flow
The moment is caught in midstream
like the oak leaf
frozen in time.
Reeds
Humble, mighty reed
healer of land and water
sleep sweet in your frozen bed.
Freezing Reflection
The ice erases
the sky and trees
as it creeps across the pond.
Jalopy
All your miles brought you to this empty field.
Doors are flung wide, frozen in time,
your driver and passenger eternally on the run.
