childhood memories

coated with powdered sugar

marzipan stollen

11 December 2022 (finch calls)

finch calls . . .

the visible out-breaths

of the chimney

10 December 2022 (fugitive)

fugitive sunlight

amid riverside weeds

the wink of ice

9 December (cold front)

cold front

the roar of the wind

outrunning the river

8 December 2022 (moonlight)

moving over the face of the bay moonlight

7 December 2022 (muting)

muting the holiday music cold rain

6 December 2022 (morning commute)

morning commute

a turkey flock hustles down

both shoulders

5 December 2022 (no snow)

still no snow . . .

a chipmunk’s spry leaps

through fallen leaves

4 December 2022 (wind)

windy summit

a doe in the lower field

raises her head

3 December 2022 (bare branches)

bare branches . . .

the moon and Jupiter

from our kitchen

2 December 2022 (snow)

late afternoon snow

turning up the volume

of the hold music
