Unspoken 02:52
UNSPOKEN Bare branches scratch an itchy sky A storm whispers on the horizon Lightning tries to punch through the sunset. I examine shards of rain in my palm piece the water back together slide it into an envelope with a letter bomb. Mail it to the sleeping thunder.

Winter 03:18
WINTER The promise of warmth with every entered room. The coats removed, the holiday embraces, the drinks filled. The fire at full blaze. But always the snow piled against the walls, the cold fingers parting the curtains, and the darkness, that crystal white darkness beating on the door. Until, inevitably, the drinks are drained, the fire settles into embers, and I step, again, into the frost.
3.
Melting Snow 03:23
MELTING SNOW Worn out from travel but warm inside a friend’s house I observe, through a frosted window: In the sunlight outside following an early snowstorm golden leaves drop the unexpected weight snow tumbling down branches springing up.
