Bread Winner

How I miss you -
miss you
miss you.

How you were -
before the cares of creation
became your imagined burden.

Change is not always good.
Poverty is not always bad.

The price is not worth a broken product -
Beyond repair
Beyond care

Oh, how I miss you.

Early Spring

Small buds
of green birth
seedlings popping
in window sill earth.

Bird party
in softened air
workable ground
sky blue and fair.

Woke up this morning
and what da ya know...
.
.
.
Snow.
