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

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

(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.

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

Difficult winter.
Snow piles persist through the thaw.
All the streets have pits.
24 February 2014
(And the thaw seems to be ending...)

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

"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.

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

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

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

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.

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)

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.

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.)

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

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

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