be patient and wait 
the barren will bloom again  
when the light returns

Bradford in bloom, Mar ‘22

pear blossoms blooming 
announcing that finally 
spring is here at last

2020.11.29: advent wind

withered leaves clinging
soon to be carried away
guilt of the nation

2020.04.04: prelighting

first light reaches twigs
long dormant without colors
waiting to burst forth

2015.03.05: awaiting

impending storm

sand trucks all along the roads

brandishing snow blades
