snow moon I forget about going back to sleep

so this is valentine's day
valentine's day 2021 another low another record broken
valentine's day blizzard the frozen tears on his mask
valetine's day the deer antlers sticking out of the snow
hearts on iron fences a reminder it's valentine's day
wind chill below zero it's valentine's day
a pond you can walk across it's valentine's day
trumpism alive and well it's valentine's day
the absence of birdsong on valentine's day

miles from home the sandhill cranes refueling in a farmer's field
a veil of mist reshapes the canyon
morning coffee some flower dust on a honeybee
notes of sunshine the seconds trilled away by birdsong
aquarium a young boy's laugh finding the clownfish
the red lichens with their own language scrawled across the rocks
I catch my breath on a steep hill--the gumbo lily
fern green the lushness surrounding the waterfall
hands of a climber the rolling hills before the mountains
tanawha sunrise the hawk's profile
first snow the cat runs back into the house
this winter a siskin's moment with the goldfinches
haiku inspired by my journal and a 2021 nature calendar
