A Wintered Morning
Visit New Mexico,
she says... diamond cut sea
colored skies, a white
bursting. Sparkles. Reach
for these silver crests; gather-
birds soaring. Enspheres.
Orange tincture of
the peels loosening.Cruer
trickling down your
hands shaped like these peeled
spectral trees. Edges. Claws, clenched.
Titian dresses
the denuded bark:
sunlit ornaments. Deserts.
Bloodshot cast wings. Clots.

Colors of a Wintered Life
Imbued rose colors
of birth. Sky tinted billowed
petals, junked. Florid
gardens, immaculate.
Scents of citrus heavens. Bloodshot
tinctured cotton
colors. Rubicund
chalk crumbles, powders highlands
thrusting. An ingress
kerfs a hyloid
barrier. Cruer clots. Spook.
Cimmeran smudges.

The Wintered Soul Among Wisteria
One need not read her horoscope to know
this woman's fate, and though wisteria

outside her door, it's still Siberia
pervading the dimensions of her mind,
for not one fickle thought or patch of moss

The Long Wintered Heart
The seasons of the heart stop turning
When the last coal of hope stops burning...
The long wintered heart doth endow
Slumber, waiting for spring to come
Like the field that awaits the plow
Or, a seed that waits to become.
But no plow can break that frozen ground
Nor,

Wintered Rings of Saturn
the story's spoke
the songs she wrote
the long walks up the stairway
"I think i'll wear flair today"
Nothing really matters today
The storms she loved
The love she stormed
Swarm
the days alarm
you were mint, i was orange
I meant
I enjoyed the way we formed
Admittedly
we were children of ****
Late night fiilms and corn
an appetite for the born
slowly, calm down
go so

Ballad of a Wintered Songster
Brandy and Crème soda
Autumn summons us
Shoulder to shoulder
We know not
If we’re getting older
We are self confident soldiers
I give you the best
Of my brandy and Crème soda
March
Early and on we shall
Through these days of despair
Autumn prevails
Ways to soften
Whom could offer such a touch
A warm letter in the mail
Growing adolescents
A young man
The consequences
