#52 February 2026

        chestnut moon
        above a frozen lake
        each stroke
        of the white owl's wings
        measuring silence

#53 Match 2026

       first mosquito
       the tinge of remorse
        in the crimson
        smear on my bare arm,   
                                    and yet . . .    

#54 April 2026

        boots and lies
        Hellfire missiles
        still
        the indigo mountain
        the fragile pinks of dawn



        after the storm    
        this pink-cheeked dawn . . .
        hopeful
        as a nest of smiling
        matryoshkas
