Selected Work
 
new year supper
in my soup bowl
her silver hair
 
solitaire
the missing queen
keeps me awake
 
 
 
day after
sun fills the birdbath
in grandpa's garden
 
winter night
even her memory
has warmth
 
 
 
waning moon
sagging flowers
of her blouse
 
winter dusk
lighting my shadow
with a candle
