garter snake

but the snakes of home

are poisonous



child's drawing

a house that tells 

a different story



quiet song

by the river

spring green



avoiding close

conversations

still six feet apart



hair pulled back

covid-19 hairstyle

just might remain

sunshine

off the water

trees shimmer



swallows

skimming the river

computer bug



warmth off the log

sitting beside the spring 

flowing river



Agatha Christie

mom's book waiting

for another moment



seven days

the pattern of life

repeats

spruce buds
warming in the
sun

preacher husband still using
the phone to preach




trout lily
finding the sun
even in the woods




drizzle reaches
under the brim of my hat
morning walk




short socks
knitting fills the hours
at home

Failed Haiku #65

Mary's Hope


sitting to 

listen to you

preparations paused


prostrate

over my brother's death

Lazarus come forth


kneeling to

anoint your feet

death ahead


standing

as I watch you die

waiting for new life
