Winter solstice 2020
13/12/2020 dream haiku
small hours of Sunday morning
family’s little strength
guarded
for mourning
17/12/2020
still growing
on old apple tree—
mistletoe
21/12/2020
the peanut feeder
disappears —
flap of crows wings
21/12/2020
scuffed oak leaves
muddy track
futile acorn hunt
21/12/2020
above Amroth
soggy cornflakes
skeletal oak leaves
sprouting acorn
