the chipped teacup

hidden in the back
of the shelf

the letter
he never
answered

an act of valor
she still cries

midnight moon
casts light
on words never said

stick arms
for the snowman

•

snowflakes fall
melting on
her runny nose

AK

hot cocoa warm
as her brown eyes

JC

her childish spirit
bright
as a Christmas tree

muddy paws
must be spring

JC

woken abruptly
breakfast
spilled in bed

AK

three more honks
from the schoolbus

morning moon
the children
go marching

his first girlfriend
at band camp

acceptance letter
time to plan
for FAPSA

braces off in time
for the wedding

a new family of
late summer daisies
