Flagrant

Flagrant

disregard for winter:

the Canada geese stay.

Like my heart,

itself a former

vagrant.

Pheasant

Ring-necked

pheasant in the front yard!

A rough winter’s

consolation — though not

for everything.

Solstice

Souls, this

is it: light’s

acolytes

turn inward

at the winter

solstice.
