winter woodland
bereft of birdsong
with your passing
even clear days
are shadowed

together so long
we seem to finish
one another’s sentences,
fluent in the pauses
of each other’s mind
Universe by Gerd Altmann
loneliness
comes and goes,
dancing around
my mind
with two left feet

finding a way back
from heated words
~

the smell of wood smoke
on the wind
~
winter walk
learning to negotiate
what can’t be seen
~
the house
where I was born
weeds & more weeds

down your chest
almost healed —
so hard to forget
you almost disappeared
