long walk

above new growth

squirrel

from where you are can you see

life that may have been

the kitten
no longer hangs from beds
to catch cool breeze
spends more time asleep changing
from black to silver

found empty
even winter sun doesn't help
this moment
alone will this experience
create a wall between us

fly by
hope will see each other again
searches for home
as each new flock arrives
my search begins

Marty's Haiga 2

cloudy sky -
snow storms gift left behind
foot prints
gray shadow against white background
sense of mystery under foot
