One-shot poems, 5 a.m.

A ladybug is sleeping on the letter N.
Somehow this reminds me to go turn
the thermostat up.
*
Full moon above the low cloud ceiling.
Under their roof of snow a city of voles.
*
In the not-quite dark of the not-yet light,
silhouette of an opossum against the snow
scuttling from tree to tree.
*
Directly underneath me where
I sit and type,
something is chewing.
*
The eaves grow longer teeth,
ice dams overflow.
My burrow is damp.
*
The moon shows its face for half a minute
through a thin screen of cloud,
snow falling sideways.
