things left behind

hungry birds at the feeders

weeds in the flower beds

berries on bushes

photos in boxes

toys in closets

words unspoken

in poems

‘if only’ wears a mask

an overcast day

in shades of cool gray... 

as if a seeker in mist

could find the hidden… 

as if the season

could be separated from tilt

shades of wanna-be green

embrace earth’s rock ribs

grateful for snow

in dark winter…
