This morning’s still dark
Abrupt noise into silence
Birds have awakened
This morning’s first birdsong came while I was dosing. Jarring enough to yank my attention. Does the first bird to speak get the early worm? Ot, perhaps, he gets the girl?
I dig computers


My bright, cheery friend
Watches me upon my desk
My office’s joy

A new testament
The hand of God drifting through
Buds become blossoms

Springtime manifests
Facing down Seattle’s rain
Soon the blossoms fade
