even a dog breaks into a smile sometimes if you know what I mean if you don’t I can’t help

everyday filling in the spots with space

cars on the highway clouds above it a coyote by it on the way home with me

but for a wistful thinking of a caged bird

sun feasting

the world it all depends on the window

getting used to spring too soon winter reverts

on a cold day a fresh coffee with a friend lights me up

waking up late winter sun

colder than the snow fences
