a few for the season

1
the year's last morning
a jet climbs
a fading contrail
2
last day of the year
a hawk finds a path
in the empty sky
3
new year's morning
facing the question
in the mirror
4
no shadows
on the unbroken snow
cloudy new year's
Let's make this year a good one.

the mirror is something i'm about to face for myself
