If you don’t mind,

I’m kind

of tired

of all this

drizzle drivel.

If you please,

tease

me with your

lazy blue wing.

I need to sing

sun lullabies,

cat curled

round my feet

in the heat,

a purr, a giggle,

in my sleep.

Wishfully dreaming of summer for dVerse Q44.  

Shroud

Each season has its own offering.  Spring buds.  Summer glows.  Autumn colors.  Winter shrouds.  In winter, we hold contradictions up to the waning light, swirl them round the glass, sip.  Our losses are bettered in this reflection, when we can begin to see what good comes even after the fissured earth cracks again, when what remains softens, fills.

how silent now

this path strewn with jagged stones

a softening of snow
