Minus twenty-two

Bird-dish rim frozen solid

Wishing for springtime

Solos

Agnes Obel plays

Lifts my soul this winter day—

Outside, a redpoll

Locked in

Outside my window,

The cardinal’s cheerful call

Pierces the daylight.

The Return

Winter is over

Officially; we welcome

Spring with open arms.

(I’m sure I’ve said exactly such

At this very time last year.)

Windows

Finally, fresh air

Windows open, allowing

Birdsong to blow in.
