Winter Funeral

Stepping on shuttered dreams Feet bleeding wishes of travel Disable soul mails postcards To a corner called " Empty Apartment" Still nature on the thirteenth floor Mom's glasses left behind and a cup full of tears A phone ringing obsessively The door permanently unlocked… Jetlag freezes childhood memories Dirt squishes mortality between my toes Ravens on cracked limbs distract me A shovel full releases a white cloud I jump on ready made steps in snow Hungry children of the graves follow me I stop, they stop, I feel, they feel - so lonely Playing the game of “Orphaned Roulette”... for Matt's Contest "Empty Apartment"

WOW an excellent write and good luck on Matt's contest. Thanks for your sunny wishes and of course it is snowing again today and more in the forecast for tomorrow. I sit at the computer and look out the window every morning and think it looks beautiful and it does but it is so darn cold. Have a great day. God Bless Phyl
