the walk to the car-
turning my jacket collar
up against the wind
–
aging-
cold breath
on my neck
Tag: winter
Winter
delicate saplings-
bending to the fickle will
of the winter wind
–
bare branches-
a light dusting
of fresh snow
Winter
as winter arrives
fog seeps into the valley
under a veiled moon
–
harvest moon-
the arthritic fingers
of barren trees
Winter
the low midday sun
shadows of geese noiselessly
passing overhead
–
dancing water
a clingy black shift
of morning ice
Winter
Windows glazed with ice
Outside raw winter winds are
Howling summer’s dirge
Winter
The night air’s cold hand
reaches down and pulls my breath
in shards from my chest.
Ice
Icy daggers hang
Dripping in the winter sun
Waiting for the fall.
