how many have died
before construction began
railroad crossing guards
how many have died
before construction began
railroad crossing guards
warmth of March sunshine
brings end to hibernation
spring’s first ladybug
age changes focus
early need for uniqueness
evolves to oneness
awake with full moon
burdened with miles yet to go
none too soon sleep comes
songs in foreign tongues
stories from migrant minstrels
joyous without words
