I can turn off Neil Diamond/
whenever I want.

I keep birds alive./
They make me happy as they/
gather at feeders.
AND
It’s easy to forget
the simple pleasure
of watching birds
at the winter windows,
hopping,
chirping,
feeding,
as we keep them alive.
She’s trying to get/
back to a normal pattern/
of sleep. Where is love?
Making snow angels/
won’t ease the pain when you slip/
and fall on lake ice.
The thought of sharing/
sacred space can become too/
overpowering.
A few miles away/
is a woman I’d walk-talk/
with under the moon.
