Premium Member Her Far-Off Look
in lobes, winnowed fans
far-off look scans the future
flight of butterflies
tease, tickles eyes, curious
beauty in obscurity

Love Deferred
The grapes are crushed and trodden,
winnowed the golden grain;
if winter comes tomorrow
my heart shall not complain.

Richer this tardy harvest
than one could ever dream
who has known the taste of famine
and drank a drought extreme.

Annihilating the miserly heat emitted 
By old cranky air conditioners and gas heaters.
Occasional bursts of strong wind blew
Some soft snow up like winnowed chaff.
One hopes the homeless found some place to rest....

Shall I be cursed to my geography and mine parents whims, 

What insolence has mine cretin thoughts winnowed with these allusions to Science, 

Pray for me Providence for the hour of my reckoning draws nearer, 

Mine blackened heart I give up wholly to you, 

Do with it as you must, as One is Born , One must return to Dust....
