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.

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.
She couldn’t wait for/
me to love her the way I/
need to, so I can’t.
I’m moved by the gift./
I’m brought to tears because he/
asked for it for me.
Is it exciting/
to get excited about/
being excited?
