February 28: Dark

After the party,
that first moment alone
on the empty street.

February 27: Bus trip home

Another time on a bus
I envied a blind man reading
the whole dark drive.

February 26: Boston

If I were a pigeon
I too would swoop
between these tall buildings.

February 25: Cold night

Soup and toast
and old episodes of "Buffy"--
a cold night's comfort.

February 24: Hawk in the park

A walk in the park
startles a hawk from its lunch--
feathers everywhere.

February 23: Birdsong

Melting snow and ice.
My spirits lift to hear
a sparrow singing.

February 22: Sunset

Gull catches fire
over my car as I drive
into the sunset.
