three at random

Power of Vision

my young eyes saw
everything
sweet, rainbow-candy
coloured

these old eyes now,
even with glasses,
see only sour grey


Winter Storm

roads rutted salty brown
unintentional curves
veer at
right angles up the hill

all the town vehicles
struggle today


Priorities

no one heard
the old woman's cries
when she got lost
in the suburbs at 3 am, -25C

but they all say
they should have heard
her fingernails
scratching across
car door paint

regardless,
they were all too late

  1. Priorities. All three wonderfully carved. The last one, stunning.
