carries sighs
of
war victims

curling up in smoke

things up
to the roof

feathers
everywhere . . .
in mid-autumn the white hen

rhyming trees with peace
snipping frosted tips
of rosemary and thyme

December solstice—
watching the snowscene settle
on
the mantelpiece

first morning
of
honeymoon —
we share
this
autumn road
to ourselves
