Little gusts outside –
Dislodged snow, slowing shifting ~
Her shallow breathing.
Surprising breeze sounds –
Dislodged snow slowing shifting ~
Her breaths are shallow.
She shifts on her side –
Rhythmic breaths, at rest for now ~
Before my snoring.
Old technology –
Could yet still work perfectly ~
Just too expensive.
Winter evening –
Miss the structured walk of ants ~
The bumble of bees.
Robots, Heroes, Tanks –
Carnage unprecedented ~
Small Man’s room, at rest.
Forgotten ant trap –
On the frosty windowsill ~
Waiting for Summer.
Fizzy dinosaurs –
Champagne tops now repurposed ~
Rescues from the bin.
Nearby river sound –
Night in a warm log cabin ~
New Year’s cold moonlight.
Soothing river sound –
Marking New Year in the woods –
Bathing in moonlight.
Soothing river sound –
Ensconced in a warm cabin ~
But I need to pee.
