"Winter Through Spring"

 

first frost of the year -
in my tea
pouring some honey

 

morning
through frosty fields :
not a thing moves

 

" Happy Christmas "
just this the shopkeeper
gives for free

 

Christmas Eve on the farm -
no one's fed the pig
to be fed at dawn

 

winter dusk -
limping, an old man
walks a limping dog

 

Christmas or not:
into the cold sea
gulls diving, on and on

 

Christmas rain -
two kids
under a bat cape

 

Christmas wrapping papers
burning in the fireplace -
New Year's Day

 

first full moon of the year -
and it's trapped
in a bare tree!

 

chilly dawn -
on top of a bin
a brush full of grey hair

 

old wooden park bench
flaked and broken down:
here's Spring's first day

 

early Spring sky -
bluer though, the test line
showing she is pregnant

 

upside down
filled with Spring dew:
empty shell of a snail
