Returning Winter – North East Florida
.
Sunset under returning winter.
All of the clouds blew out to sea within a few hours. I was able to star-gaze by midnight.

Long Night of Winter –
.
Hardened by dark cold
Dormant rebirth dreams of Spring
Through winter’s long night.

Silent
.
.
Winter light
Neither waxing
Nor waning
Unmoving
Cold behind
Silver mist
Ungloved
Hands cupped
Holding
Unformed wishes
Dreamy nacre
Soft for
A moment
Then gone
Nowhere
Iridescence
Imagined
Sound muted
No whispers
No songs
Still
Quiet

Cold Wind From The North West
There was a
Cold rushing
Wind from
The North West
Then stillness
Silence
Waiting
Grows ice
Alas for
New growth
Alas for
Spring animals
Awake too soon
Roots bide
In silence
Seeds and tubers
Orient themselves
Without discussion
When the thaw
Soon arrives
Foliage and flowers
Will drape
Themselves in
Black extremity
A widow’s lace
Across my garden

The temperature is dropping ten degrees Fahrenheit, per hour. Care for your animals, and friends, and relatives, and the helpless, and yourselves, as much as you are able. Please.

IS EVERYBODY HERE by Walela
There is No More Warmth

My wailing
Is only wind
Not empty music
You can hear
No Doppler
Siren song
No melodic
Humming
As I pass
There is no
Warmth
No rhythmic
Drumming heart
.
Dearest Beloved
Should you happen
To listen
Now when
There are
No more words
To be said
You will hear
The same thoughts
Inside your head
As you have
Always heard
While you are
Eternally
Turning away
.
I and all
My words
And thoughts
And music
I and my damaged
Heart and
My fears and tears
Forever unheard
Are howling
Shrieking gales
.
My body once
Warm with love
Is no more
Than a
Wheezing
Bellows
Pumping
Cold winter’s
Whistling winds
So lonesome
So hopeless
Lonesome
Through
Bloodless
Hollow veins

Color The Winter Sky
.
.
I stole a piece of summer sky
.
I stirred it as a pigment
.
And painted the winter sky in red
