the old dog
limps on the path --
windblown leaves

dusty sweater --
first snow melting off
the sundial

the corner pond
three goldfish sharing
one sunbeam

stalk by stalk
clearing out the garden . . .
another funeral

the quiet sky
shatters in sparrows --
kestrel

flurry of sparrows
emptying the feeder --
almost snow

pale lotus
strangled in pond weeds
her drowned face
