step by step
the cat shakes morning dew
from each paw

a bridge at either end
of the mist
the leap of faith in the middle

from the pawnshop window
my guitar
searches for its voice

abandoned farmhouse—
spiders spin forgotten thoughts
between the pillows

winter washing
his and hers PJ’s on the line
frozen in embrace

the owl flies
from chimney to chimney
waiting for an answer

twilight graveyard
the homeless man rests
where he won’t be disturbed
