The White Stuff

You’re a soft blanket

On a sunny day, but when

The wind’s behind you,

You’re viciously cold—you’re a

Nasty old slap in the face!

Out of Sight

Woodpecker landed

On my deck rail yesterday—

Too quick for a pic.

Night Moves

Sleeping in day-bed

Under heaps of blankets, just

Feels Dickensian.

Out walking

On the rail-to-trail;

No pivot

For divot—

Went over on my ankle—-

A misstepic fail.

Shadorma #54 Whistle

I waken

To an eerie sound

From afar,

Only to

Discover, it’s coming from

My left nostril.
