Saturday
reading books
from my library
enough to last years
and room for more

Friday afternoon
in February
looking from a page
in a book to the window
snow falls

Saturday afternoon
and time to read
shape of the lamp
in sun on the wall
near my chair

poetry journals
to read that have
waited on my shelves
the season now
and also Spring

poetry journals
to read and perhaps
all seasons . . .
one journal at a time
and always Spring

asking for water
more often
the plants tell me
it’s almost
Winter

December 2011

Summer beauty
stays in my heart
yellow lilies from a store
in the blue vase
by a window

ordering
a Christmas wreath
for my parents’ graves
even though I know
they are not there
