Observation - February 6th, 2021, Saturday

It is cold outside, but the sun is shining

 

The sky is striped, blue and white

 

I can feel the cold coming, seeping through the windows

 

The sun’s light through wavey glass

 

Snow clings to the limbs of my tree

 

Each flake a tiny prism from which the sun light leaps

 

And there is hope, today in America…there is hope

Observation - March 4th, 2019, Monday


The coffee pot is gurgling
The news is playing clips
The president making a fool of himself
Cursing on TV, lying

The five o’clock bus passes by
It is cold outside, negative 10
My lady is preparing to leave for work
Kitty is following her around

Observation - April 3rd, 2018, Tuesday


Everything is covered in snow
            
             A thick sheet of ice

Clings to the ground beneath it

            The treachery of April

Cold, seeping through the window

            Plows scrape the street

Outside, the green lawn is buried

            Robin, into the nest retreats

Observation - January 3rd, 2018, Wednesday

Observation


The radiators here do not clang and bang

They are filled with hot water, not steam

I hear the flow in a low pitched rush

As the boilers work to beat the cold

Air seeping through the window sills

Kitty is curled up in her blue blanket

Head in paws, on her stuffed gray chair

The quiet is broken intermittently

By the sound of the neighbors toilet

Jennifer is tossing in her sleep, coughing


She has been struck by a January virus

Observation - May 2nd, 2017, Tuesday

Observation

It is 4:00 am, and dark in the morning
The house is cold and quiet
It is wet outside, after days of rain
And snow

Kitty is curled up on the back of her chair
Her white chin resting on her white paws
I can hear her breathing
The low rumble as she shifts and turns
She ignores the news cast I am watching
More interested in the clicking of my fingers
