winter haiku - joshua st claire



the night sky reversed a snowy owl’s wings



the cruelty

of children

winter dawn



polar vortex

crocus bulbs heaving

from the earth



frazil

mackerel clouds fill

the Susquehanna



a grey fox

returning through the snow

hellebores



frozen fountain

still twinkling

the fixed stars



Traumsprache

vixen screams

pixelate the night



I ask my son’s teacher

when she started hating children

winter stillness



give and take the sky almost seen through shifting altostratus clouds



skeletons trees stretching

for the stratocumulus sky

the north wind



piercing

the cirrostratus sky

a red-tailed hawk
