Of Moments In Winter

A chill in the air
ignites my dry bones
washing over with sweetness.
I inhale, consumed with an appetite
assuaged only with the kiss of hiemal night.
Branches spindly, frigid, and gaunt
strike at the grey darkened sky,
while a cool mist blankets the ground.
Crystalline prisms dance through the air
as I take in the gentle crisp silence of Winter.

Winter imaged so powerfully that you've got me shivering here in Injun Summer in Chicago. Dazzlingly depicted, Nicole. Light and Joy, Gershon
