#icy

icy side walks---
the sparrows drink
from the gutter

#gum

bubble gum clouds---
the ice on the window
starts to melt

#cold

bitter cold---
I pass a swimming pool
emptied of water

#snow

an old man
plays in the snow---
more climate change

#shortcut

night of cold wind---
I take a shortcut
through the cemetery

#sombrero

Mexican restaurant---
her sombrero
touches mine

#intense

intense dark---
she says no need
to find the keys right away

#jumps

morning stillness---
a cricket jumps
out of the ipod

#sun

dearest sun,
you missed
too many days

#jockey

a clear winter day---
smoke columns
jockey for position

#normal

finally
a normal day---
cold enough for you

#shades

morning rush
she has her shades on---
overcast sky

#sunset

her little sister
asking her why she stopped---
sunset

#cat

a black and white cat
finally goes out---
can fox-trot
