Rays of warmth touch
waters of northern wood
the brown ground thaws.

Stuck in the Middle
Through halls of unwritten law,
I walk
with uneven steps
behind footprints of change
listening
to her dramas of song
with no manual or
directions to guide.
I walk a slippery line
trying to keep up
guessing
on the moment to give love
and when to lay down the law.
I see
the girl no more
grown heads above mine
eyeing the tree she once climbed
the child left behind.
