land, pause, freeze, and look
what’s a bird to do? can’t move
winter’s sticky tape
hop, hop, hop-three jumps
and you are there, discover
snowy hidden treats
different bird tracks;
walk, waltz, snoop: toes in, toes out
winter hides the food
land, hop, walk

Winter in the Yakima Valley
color splash welcomes
beacon against monotone
shelter-but drafty

crisp hoar frost descends
embroiders lacy fingers

dark broken by light
snow day, but no sleeping in
time to wander, breathe

leading trail of poofs
struggle to escape mealtime

life (and death) in the pasture, Yakima Valley
here or there, the path
sometimes smooth, other times rough-
love keeps us on track

daylight freezes them
and winter, but come August
tree people watch, play

flames claim the night sky
face forward, time to wake up
gold fades to day blue
