February 28: Windfall

fallen branch

from my neighbor’s willow

hung up on our fence 

February 27: Moon again

waxing moon rising
right where you'd expect it
home town

February 26: Quick thaw

sublimation

leave the doors open

to let February go

February 25: Weather

sun then snow then rain
the weather too
can't make up its mind

February 24: Birthday party

Sirius rising

a single candle

in my birthday dessert

February 23: Cold rain

freezing rain

even the cat mistakes it

for the scurry of mice

February 22: Sleep chant

reciting until dawn
the threefold refuge
insomnia
