Fire and Ice
Nine lines weighing two ways the world could end.

A sonnet asking to be remembered, then asking something harder.

Nine lines weighing two ways the world could end.

Spring returns after a war, and nothing in it notices we are gone.

A spider casting thread into empty space, and a soul doing the same.

A city street, and the sound of lake water that will not leave the speaker alone.

Eight lines on how the first green of spring is gold, and how quickly gold gives way.

Hope as a small bird that sings through every storm and never asks for anything back.
