Long Envisage Poems

Absolute deafening silence...

during and after a moderate snowfall
today January 19th, 2024,

disturbing parents and siblings with screams.
When she awoke, always sore in one knee;
next to a birthmark, it throbbed painfully.

Night after night she feared...

When the cows come home to roost,
	or the crows are grazing grass,
It’s time I wrote a rhyme,
	until yesterday returns to pass!

Though reassuring...
