january morning
 i could be anything
 in the fog
 
  
a night alone 
 my heart a cage
 full of winged things
 
  
winter sky
 again and again
 the urge to fly
 
  
spring morning
 the sky's blue voice
 at my window
  
 a lifetime
 of grass in my hair
 prairie wind
  
 now and then
 touching the poem
 my mother wrote
windswept woman
 a life of notebooks
 filled with birds
