…while hunting for soaps and scents,
in Wauwatosa,
I remained alert
for the ever elusive Wisconsin winter’s
“friday flower”

Christmas brings a scary fairy…
which simultaneously entertains, delights and terrifies.
She may hover near you, or
throw herself against a wall, or
trim your house plants;
seemingly by her own whims.

Friday… flora?
December. Wisconsin.
This is where you’ll find ‘flora’
Ready to eat.
Or in the freezer.

Eighty and two…
both work at blowing out the candles
I wonder if either has made a wish.

The earth…
just outside my window
now covered in white
dabbles with shadow
and plays with the light

Friday: flowers…
must be shopped for
when snow covers the ground;
and temperatures read as negative numbers.
I didn’t purchase any.
Though I did think about Rabs
(Mark Rabiner, who photographs
thousands of cut flowers while strolling the nights
and streets of New York city)
as I looked through the view finder.

So I asked the leaf…
“what determines whether we feel
trapped or simply embraced
by our surroundings?”
the answer became clear
as I watched
the leaf hug the ice.

Melting… moving…
still…
shifting… dripping…
