bank statement

year-end bank statement
reusing the tea bag
for a second cup

last day of the year

last day of the year
the dream
unremembered

lustrous snow

lustrous snow
paraphrasing
sunlight

Christmas eve

Christmas eve
the girls wearing
new flannel PJs

solstice

solstice
sipping a stronger brew
in the waning light

rain turns to sleet

rain turns to sleet
grounding my daughter
our shared tears

winter night

winter night
chill of moonlight
on my skin
