a new planet appears

Last Words

all the words not said
all the ones that still echo
after the door slams

widow wanders
all the trails they once loved
aching feet

the cry of someone
left behind on the path
a keening wind

high pressure system
surrounds some relatives
family picnic drenched

around the hearth
menfolk fix the world
women darn socks

snow angel girls
brush feathers from their faces
with snow-caked mitts
