moon of the morning
shines through my ice-laced window
more than I can bear

$View through a large window laced with ice fractals, which form a sort of frame for the garden beyond, which is covered with light snow and frost. A clump of trees to the right alongside the garden meet at hedge that marks the garden boundary. Beyond this hedge is a frost fields with more hedge at the horizon. The sky is dawn, a light orange-pink, with the full moon toward the top left of the photo.$

chimney-soaked sunset
mirth struggles for a foothold
these slippery hopes

View over a hedge line across a plowed field, the sky in fading blue, sunset light orange at the horizon where a single tree is silouetted under the setting sun. Rays shoot out from 4 different points on the sun, the longest of the rays reaching back over the hedge line to the foreground.
