winter sun –
he hates using sunscreen
but who wants to burn?

Drizzle

pale blue day –
he catches a whiff of
his own cologne

Steadfast

short days –
so long since I’ve played
with my shadow

almost winter
maybe just
one more cookie

shorter days –
our cat chooses a
favorite blanket

he’s never seen
a sugarplum

Like *That

the start of winter
she rubs her eyes
the start of spring

And Arms

late winter –
the sun trying to burn
my nose and ears
