with life's gentlest bow
the cooing
of a mourning dove
echoes my grief

Veneered in crystalline ice

Atop their sternness
Standing tall and gleaming proud:
One lone evergreen
Small evergreen trees

As you bow her violin in key
We laugh and drink Vichy water

The contrails in the sky
We laugh . . .

Frogspawn floating in clear jelly ~
Sets tone to frolic.

The trees change from green to gold over night
Evenings are spent cozy in a familiar sweater
