Frigid

Cold wins blow across
My weary bones
Feathered icicles 
Hanging high above home
Downey woodpecker
Eating a suet mix
Nature’s inadequacy 
For a protein fix
Cats watch behind 
Glass doors
Phantasms erupt
On litter laden floors 
Feathered shadows
Creeping in my door 
Sultry winter 
Crystal icicles
Creatures on my floor
Warming sun
Shrinks the creatures range
Infatuation of darkness 
Mentally so strange
