Time Frozen Deep
Buried in the leaves of a Fall gone by,
memories wait for Spring
Entombed in hope as Winter reclaims,
till birds return to sing
Cold and dark, the seeds of change,
lay dormant ill disposed
Snow is falling, the wind blows hard,
escape routes all but closed
Hearing new footsteps walking above,
the weight compressed and strained
My sentence malingers, time frozen deep
—the cold to ease the pain
(Dreamsleep: February, 2021)
