melting icicles
create icy pools on deck
slick in the shadows
stick frame of teepee
made by boy and grandfather
waits for their return

casting black shadows
red tailed hawk circles backyard
perching on feeder

Chinese proverb – When sleeping women wake mountains move
like water splashed ink
shapes emerge in snowy yard
nighttime receding

first full day of spring
crow alights on snow-clad branch
hops from limb to limb
