Hi,
winter seared oakling,
spring brings
the verdant mantle…
at my feet
the rug my mother
helped me hook
Sweet smells
of fresh dishes…
my Mother’s memory
dusty tarp stills rocker–
winter twilights in mother’s lap
haiku about mother
memories of
promises to keep
spring fledgling–
tiniest lizard’s path
cross my bare foot
