fluffy goldfinches 

at the birdfeeder

spring snow flakes


a feather fluttering down

signals an intruder

spring rain 

fills the lily cups—

impassable stream


up to my knees

in a flooded street

sweet and plump

in the faded family photos

—aged envelopes


prying eyes search 

for a birth certificate
