Here’s your reward today from andrew riutta:
“snowflakeSN”
darkening more
and more in morning light,
one crow
snow melt . . .
her only footprint
touches the earth
holding her umbilical cord
at the middle . . .
each end already taken

“umbilical cord” – Presence 2005

days
become months
become years . . .
in moonlight
my beer stays cold
drunks stumble in and out of her
like cartoon characters—
wet with fallen leaves
this dark road home
peeking into
this wormhole in my apple
I see a poet
thirty years from now
still dressed like a plumber
at my age
falling in love
with the person
she thought I was—
autumn graveyard
“snowflakeSN”
yesterday
I bought myself a new hat
with ear flaps . . .
today, myriad thoughts
muffle the falling snow
one lone cricket
louder than all the others—
not one of us
has ever found the words
to comfort the living
