Cuttings
Winter
Michael P. Garofalo
Winter
Red Bluff, Tehama County, California
Pointing at the moon,
making a point--
her lovely fingers.
[January]
Shadowless dusk
growing colder--
squealing
teakettle.
[March]
A dog barks at nothing,
a thousand ducks twitch--
winds of winter.
[February]
Fruitless
lawn tree--
full of flowers.
[March]
Daily rain--
from the deep well
this glass of water.
[February]
The leafless poplars sway,
A warm and windy Winter's day--
grackles chattering.
[January]
sipping steaming coffee,
their eyes
playing
possibilities
[February]
Brushing my dog--
the cow licks her calf's eye.
[January]
Leaning over
stirring soup--
hot and sour smells.
[March]
Counting syllables
555
into five, seven, and five------
77
Military
Time.
5555
[February]
[dadaku
: concrete]
frozen puddles
the crack of axes
from four directions
[January]
A frog floats
belly up --
dead silence.
[March]
Last day of Winter,
leafless walnut trees--
form is emptiness.
First day of Spring,
clear sky to Mt. Shasta--
emptiness is form.
[March]
