Snowy

The following “Haiku from Index Cards” can’t get enough snow.

snowy alley—

a policeman checks

the dead man’s pocket

snowy Christmas Eve—

too late to the corner store

for scotch tape

             (written 2012, published 2022)

snowy graveside—

family members take their turn

with a silver trowel

snowy woodrush

the gravel foundry ruins

now a golf course
