snow enough to plow . . .

a neighbor’s kitchen light on

at three a.m.

fresh snow . . .

where a deer bedded down

an oval of green

fresh snow

following fisher tracks

over the blowdowns

6 January 2023 (freezing rain)

freezing rain I’ve made up my mind

5 January 2023 (ice)

glare ice

the broken arm

of an old birch

morning sky

our neighbor’s red roof

washed by rain

winter rain

the cheerful bob and glow

of traffic lights

new year

the old cat and I share

a heating pad

first day

the cat wakes me up

coming to bed
