1.18.14 January Thaw

Photo: Something about
the quiet forest neighborhood this morning -the slow lazy 

Saturday waking
the clarity of the path necessary foreword
the sleeping in next door with kids elsewhere

One wondrous man 
his coffee in hand 
leaning in to my urging 
to buy that plane ticket 
and put off the roof;
the unfinished bathroom

 ...a riot of avians at the feeders before me 
the enormous pup lying across the back of the sofa, watching 

As we drift with certainty 
from January thaw 
to getting down to the seriousness
 of New England winter

As quiet true realizations arrive
bidden or not
on a dark winter morn
that take root
 in your rich life's soil
and if you do the work
shall grow
