on the telephone pole
snowflakes swirl

white owl
settling on the telephone pole —
snowflake
(preferably a single snowflake)
hard to imagine, nevertheless you could
wings fluttering, in landing
reminiscence of slow-motion swirling snowflakes
smart ravens carry walnuts
to the road where cars smash them
– instant meal of walnut pieces
new year’s eve
swallows flying
home
raindrops …
streaming down the cool window pane
my fingers remember
