Frost in the corners
of the windows
Cat sleeps on the divan

Tire tracks
Snow covers
the moonlit bench

Tire tracks
Moonlit snow
covers the bench

Tire tracks
Moon and snow
cover the bench

Heads spin
Dance songs
on vinyl record

Heads spin
Dance songs pulse
on vinyl record

Kicking
a soccer ball
Stone church by the sea

Dying fish in a box
Cigar smoke
on the pier

Still
Wind
turbines

Turbines
Still
wind

Wind
turbines
Still

Soldiers stand
Snow falls
among the white birches

Grandma and her hat
A kitchen chair placed
in the grass

Seaside flood
An empty swing
rocks and sways

Memories of you
Snow fall
on the pine needles
