1Walking in the Snow
(New Years Day2006)
The winter wind whistles, harmoniously
with happy snowdrifts, miles long
and my shoes, like car tires
grip the ground, they chop through away the whiteness.
The day is calm. No birds fly
across the sky. Hercules
is asleep. It must be this snow
we need to balance our equilibrium, this snow: calm, white and cold.
Dedicated to my goddaughter, Ximena Herrera Pealoza 1/2/2006 [#1053
Note by the author: on my way to the bookstore today, in Roseville, Minnesota (New Years Day), my wife was expressing how beautiful the trees were, all laced with white snow from the night before, from the tip, to each branch to their toes.

Caminando en la Nieve
(Nuevo Ao2006)
El viento de invierno silva, armoniosamente
con cmulos de nieve felices, largas milla
y mis zapatos, como neumticos de coche
agarran el suelo, el los cortan de lejos la blancura.
El da es tranquilo. Ningn pjaro vuela
a travs del cielo. Hrcules
est dormido. Esto debe ser esta nieve
necesitamos balancear nuestro equilibrio,
esta nieve: tranquila, blanca y fra.
Dedicado a mi ahijada, Ximena Herrera Pealoza 1/Enero/2006 [# 1053
Nota por el autor: En mi camino a la librera hoy, en Roseville, Minnesota (el Da de Ao nuevo), mi esposa expresaba qu hermosos eran los rboles, todo encajados con la nieve blanca de la noche anterior, desde la punta, a cada rama, hasta abajo.
2After a Long Day
I start out reading and writing each day
at my computer, then end up at the caf
and back to my house againbetween
three to ten hours a day, sometimes I see
the moon before I see the afternoon sun
plowing through the foliage of words and books, papers and napkins.
Suppose my house was to burn down?
And the caf locked its doors up tight?
Everyday I do not rea d or write I weather away!...

3Sleepy Winter Wife
Each night the first face I see sleeping
Is my wifes I have decided to leave her sleep in the sofa
Chairby the warm cozy fire. She often peeks to see if Im still there
Busy writing or reading, by my computer. Then she falls back into her deep sleep again.
Like a little fussy bear, hibernating
I cant complain much, Ive been blessed; Thus, I check out the house at midnight,
Wake her up, and like a train, coo coo to bed.

Esposa Soolienta en Invierno (Nuevo Ao2006)
Cada noche la primera cara que veo dormida
Es el de mi esposa He decidido dejarla dormir en el sof
por el fuego caliente acogedor. Ella a menudo echa una ojeada para ver si estoy todava all
Ocupado escribiendo o leyendo, por mi computadora. Despus ella vuelve a su sueo profundo otra vez.
Como un pequeo oso quisquilloso, i nvernando
No puedo quejarme mucho, he sido bendecido; As, chequeo la casa en la medianoche,
La despierto, y como un tren, caminamos hacia la cama.
