Mighty wind pushes
Snow mountains like desert sands,
Become ice rivers.

Baby Jonathan
Tiny nose, a wrinkled chin.
He squirms in my arms.
Western sky ablaze
Clouds like golden-white thumb prints
Tree limb silhouettes

Scattered paper hearts
rain down from her pockets. She

Stowaway green crane.
Will he find what I folded?
Token from sister.
