stand of tall trees-
not sure what
I’m turning into
it is always just going out to see what you can see...

red wing blackbirds
snow in patches
between headstones

could be I’m tired
or lost, but to close my eyes
and nod off
while the world goes on
gives me a certain peace

silent sentinel
facing the end
of another day

in the puddle
the pig barn
