28 February 2014

Another day gone.
Sometimes I feel that I have
Accomplished nothing.

27 February 2014

A nation explodes.
Soldiers, tanks.  Cities on fire.
And blood in the streets.

27 February 2014
(I don't remember where I found this;
it's a representation of the Ukranian
flag, stained with blood.)

As I grow older,
Walking becomes a challenge
On the icy steps.

25 February 2014

A dark, chilly night.
No moon or stars.  Just silence.
I must try to sleep.

24 February 2014

Difficult winter.
Snow piles persist through the thaw.
All the streets have pits.

24 February 2014
(And the thaw seems to be ending...)

23 February 2014

Certain aromas
Can make me feel very good...
Like garlic roasting.

20 February 2014

"Let sleeping dogs lie..."
Or so goes the old adage.
Nina says, "Sounds good."

Once a bakery
In the ghetto.  Even now
A presence remains.

18 February 2014

A recurring dream...
I walk through the city, but
Can't get there from here...

17 February 2014

Now, a frozen world.
Tomorrow, the thaw begins.
Parable of life?

Another long day,
And another sleepless night...
Maybe tomorrow...

15 February 2014

I want a mirror
That would reflect my life as

I wish it had been.

side street in Paris, in 2000)

A small synagogue
In a small Tuscan hill town...
Even I was moved.

13 February 2014

A morning in June,
Years ago, a life that's past,
Shrouded in the mist.

13 February 2014
(I was looking through some
old photos and found this
one, of a canal in France)

12 November 2014

Paw prints in the snow..
A critter has passed by here,
As silent as death.

When I woke, I saw
A white field, glistening in
The morning sunshine.

In the parking lots,
Snow higher than any car,
Any SUV...

The news seems stranger
As I grow older; maybe
It's me, not the world.

5 February 2014

Fresh layer of snow,
Six new inches on eight old.
Cold chilling my soul.

Now, in months, I am
Seven hundred ninety two.
(Sounds more impressive.)

3 February 2014

At last, a sunny day.
And, at once, my spirits are,
For a time, revived.

2 February 2014

Cold, gray, and gloomy.
A typical winter day.
And I'm sick of it.

1 February 2014

Another new month.
It's trivial, but somehow
Strangely exciting.
