Winter Solstice
Zero,minus twelve growing colder
yet orange meadowbrite blossom
though autumn is over
Bare burningwood trees lost their leaves
...ocher,orange copper
their vased pink flowers pruned proper
Snow burned my glowing brown skin
cold calloused stiff as winter begins
warm garments feel thin in bitter cold wind
Wool socks soft as kittens
sown into mittens
summer's blossoms frostbitten
beneath deadened soil next spring's seeds hidden
Skin worn and blistered
yet warmth's in distance
Home's...warm as summer's past,this day's first splendor
my skin thawed,blushing red and tender
as an orchard rottens and all pain's fogotten
yearning winter's end and spring first blossoms
