snow moon I forget about going back to sleep

to-do list nothing seems important since you've gone

listening for spring a red fox in the sun

unsteady walk the thud of icicles falling off the house

boil order extended what's february like in cancun

lingering winter the turkey between the stripes of a fence's shadow

ground freeze the political grandstanding of the gop censures

in every depression the endless white of blank spaces

2nd acquittal each new band of snow deeper than the last one

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
