May be an image of sky, indoor and tree

I ... sit by the window ... cold, damp air wrapping tendrils 'round my nape, reminding me of February ... of her ... of farewell chill thoughts gather like a knot in the back of my skull ... thrumming like Thor's mallet - commending the haughty hell that dripped from her baby-soft bows like honeyed poison ... to ruin me.

My friend, truly a sad piece of love lost and that icy chill such a vacancy sets into soul and bones! Such as this poet-once a young man experienced and have never forgotten. You nailed it to a tree my friend. A fav- truly an exceptional jewel this one most certainly is. God bless.
