restless nights
of twisted, untucked blankets 
when will she be home?



April 02, 2025

as sleep washes in
my breath synchronizes with
hymns from my childhood

Wisconsin fights off
the idea that the people
can be fooled



March 31, 2025

lightning strike 
with a thunder crack chaser 
the storm is right here



March 30, 2025

crows in the morning
persistently insisting
that no one sleeps in



March 29, 2025

the edge of my hand
black from inking slogans
on my protest signs

downy woodpecker  —
a red exclamation point
as it veers away



March 27, 2025

early spring at the shore —
we learn one more time about 
cold weather sunburn



March 26, 2025

yesterday's buds
unlocked by today's sunshine —
eager white blossoms
