winter gull
another end of the world      
comes and goes

deep snow
I turn the pages
of an old passport

dried peas
in a bowl of water
winter moonlight

winter tussock
the hooded crow
hides a bread-crust

bitter cold—
jumping the last king
on the checker board

            snowbird camp
            a man with a cane
            waters his saguaro

scattered seeds this empty bird cage inside me

            bear tracks
            how many
            will remember me?

            snow on the lake
            memories I pull
            from the deep

            winter palace
            a flower pot
            upside down
