whipping the snowbanks
into a frenzy . . .
our dog burrows deeper
into her fireside dreams

behind him

how Mario
doubles in size…
pretending I’m okay
when inside I’m so small
I just might disappear

our eldest son is married
holds his new wife's hand

thinking of another day

with tiny orange pincers
pressuring clams
till the shells open—
the redacted Epstein files

moves around the sink drain
on the edge
of certain destruction
I lift my hand off the faucet
