Yolotli, the beauty of Tenochitlan,
She was a tender, loving woman.
Every day she was catered to.

The weight beheld his shoulders slump,
The cries this world on him so dump,
Threats beseige his state that made,

Curtains close for autumn’s harvest 
Leaves and cones and needles swept underground 

The arctic brisks fill the air 
Crystals and icicles adorn...

Tell me, are you turning gray now
It's easy to divine
The timber in your voice tells me

With Lynx-like eyes, and billowing clouds of gray
And turns the hush of twilight's blood red sky
Into a witches brew, alive with piercing cries
A wind that coils in...

darkness ...
it is closing its careless bite
upon ALL of us
it knows no favor, no age, no disposition
fear and all its dim shadows

Poetry will not keep you warm
Not like a cat nestled between legs
But, it hunts down manic thoughts
Gnashes the static till the mind gives 
Chases a thought till claws are bloody

It blows all around us.
Zig zagging in front of the eye.
A million bits of lemon dipped confetti.
Tapping on the carapace of a life.

Fawn dappled-silver maple leaf- days.
Spotted leopard-howler monkey nights. 
Everything summed up in gossamer...

Words chill my heart much colder still

With tempest howls or'e chimney tops
Such howling sounds forgiving not

The wailing shrieks 
of a banshee
warns of death
hidden amidst the chaos
created by a blizzard.

shakes and pounds them
with fists of snow.
Blue skies are obscured in
a flurry of confetti,
white on white.
And...
