28 December 2020 (reflection)

my tired reflection

in the rain-streaked window

year’s end

27 December 2020 (window)

cracking a window

for a breath of fresh air

midwinter

26 December 2020 (bouquet)

day after Christmas

composting

the wilted lilies

25 December 2020 (pine)

clear and cold

a lone white pine

brushes the sky

24 December 2020 (song)

the bass backbeat

of last summer’s song

winter sun

23 December 2020 (gifts)

an extra minute

of daylight

year-end gifts

22 December 2020 (planets)

midwinter

even the planets

move closer together

21 December 2020 (candle)

longest night—

a pool of beeswax spreads

around the candle

20 December 2020 (seal)

waxing day moon

a seal fat for winter

basks on the beach

19 December 2020 (eider)

turning tide

a starfish wriggles

in the eider’s bill

18 December 2020 (plow)

all-night storm

the pulse of hard rock

from inside the plow truck
