| Fireside Sorting through old photos: here we are in the snow, grinning fools -- our eyes till filled with summer. Solstice I wake from a nightmare: torso drenched, naked thighs aching with cold -- your down pillow vacant. Ski Lift Fresh snow, a crow feather wafts down to the powder. Black ink on vellum -- how you said goodbye. Ice Sunrise" pink ice cracking the humming bird feeder -- I pack the last of your clothes for Goodwill. Cold Snap Draping the plumbago against a freezing night -- how many blankets to thaw out my heart? |
