still
beneath the leaves
a layer of frost
home to see my mother –
pelicans settle
on the river
a junco track
on the melting snow –
the sound of my father’s voice

still
beneath the leaves
a layer of frost
home to see my mother –
pelicans settle
on the river
a junco track
on the melting snow –
the sound of my father’s voice
shades of brown
an undercurrent of cold
memories fade
Yes. Yes. These are so true. All of them together.
