Winter Is In Us


Winter Is In Us

winter is in us
in our bones

our burning hearts
desire warmer days

it is in us

like cold fever
like dry language

sweating
spelling

poems left over
after the storm

about the
fall equinox

deep freeze
slippery sidewalk
blowing snow

winter is in us
in our bones

our yearning
for warmer days

I haven't been prolific with posting this month but I'm not worried.  I completed two short stories so the bulk of my energy went there.  I am taking a teeny breather, reading a little bit and mulling over a new story idea/character that's nagging.  There's no first line or title yet, just her name.  I look forward to my next adventure.

We are getting another dose of winter this evening and possibly another on Friday.  Hello Spring?  In like a lion, yes?  So, a wee poem about the longing for warmer days ahead.

Post again soon.

In propinquity,
Nic
