Clearly, it’s a boy!

Mama’s baby BUMP rides high

Like daddy’s spirits.

Full-length mirror
Oscillating fan
Beyonce’ hair swish
Sprained my neck.

You brought me an empty bowl

Water douses fire.

Stand like health helping soldiers
Ready remedies.

Days slowly lengthen

Diminishing BLACK of night

Crocuses emerge.

Count your syllables.
Five-seven-five is a “thing”.
You cannot stop it.

Acorns bounce on frosty paths

Missing their targets.

Saturday mourning
Woman sheds tears by a grave.
Dark distant stranger.

Daily urban hike
Euphorious gratitude
Passing the graveyard.

Prepare for cold snap

I stuff rags in drafty cracks

So I won’t shiver.

“I cannot help you.”
Says the moon, turning away.
“Go back, talk to sun.”.

Arctic blast coming                         

I stuff rags in narrow cracks          

To block winter wisps.

Unmerciful sun
Generous only with light
Lets earthlings shiver.

Celebrate Obama
and King the same day:
poetic resonance.

High tide approaches.
Carefully crafted walls fall.
Crumbling sand-castle.
