scraping ice ferns
off the windows
of our old jalopy –
such fragile beauty
soon pushed aside

Of Love and War and the Life In Between
almost toothless
the old dog sleeps
by the fire . . .
the peace of knowing
you are there
This poem is dedicated to all beloved, faithful dogs for the pure joy they bring.

black feathers
scattered
under a bush—
the unspoken truth
gone forever
~
in an old book
a letter, ‘address unknown’
a million miles away
a new star is born,
another dies

indigo ink
on vellum paper—
all those dreams
of making a different life
for myself
