1

the two lovers jump
over the broom
joined forever

2

a cardboard box
falls outside
the moving truck

3

laughter and cheers
grin from ear to ear
Santa is here

4

mug of cold coffee
to-do list
half done

5

the clunking of wood on iron
my father
starts the fire

6

hydrangea blooms . . .
the pollinator
makes a living off her beauty.

7

train whistle
a kiss on the cheek
i'll see you soon

8

temperature falling
the drip
finally stops

9

pizza box forts
we stayed up
too late again

10

comfy couch
sisters laughing
I am home

11

arguing voices
at the wooden dinner table
welcome home

12

winter rain
my mask is frozen
to my hair

13

forever friends we said
he was the test
you failed

14

silence
kitchen counter top
dance party

15

crosswalks coming together
neither find the courage
to wave hello

16

white snow
the calm before
anyone takes a step

17

foggy grey sky
a white blanket
of powdery snow

18

sterile swab kit
5 seconds
in each nostril

19

wooden music box
my last Christmas
with you

20

big gray house
where my snowmen
once stood

21

ramen and xbox
paisley throw
you take my hand

22

snow-covered trees
just a little
white lie

23

running
on a foggy path
blurred vision

24

the crunchy snow
on the deck
gloomy skies

25

I put a mask on
wheeze and cough
glazed over eyes

26

the snow sticks
I slip and I limp
back into the house

27

dawn arrives
the selkie
retrieves her coat

28

yellow gown snaps
sweaty palms
facial indentations

29

no visitors
hallways barren
year of the nurse

30

east to west
half a day's journey
back to my second home

31

fourteen days
locked inside
with only my thoughts

32

woke up
with a sore throat
let's go get tested

33

under the covers
i scroll
through netflix

34

seeing the snow
hiding inside
from the heartache

35

sun rising
still air
trees rustle in the wind

36

grandma's mug
faded
I sip my coffee

37

tv running
indent in the couch
getting bigger

38

the two lovers jump
over the broom
joined forever

39

I sit alone
watching the crowd . . .
maskless

40

a cardboard box
falls outside
the moving truck

41

winter pandemic
Tiger King,
keep me company

42

too much change
if it was Netflix
it would be gone

43

carpet floors
filled with junk and clutter
a bird nests here
