When Winter Comes
March 31, 2014
Puddles of promises our pinkies make
our mouths break as winter strolls
in through the rusty courtyard gates
creak and sneer
Winter, our old friend, our confidant
who answers more than he asks when spring waltzes by
More-grey-than-white that stains our tongues
No longer chained by
icicles,
melting glass on the hemlock tree
Runoff from empty days
clouds we shaped and taped
to the sky
Blue Jays we drew and glued to canvas
Thick and heavy strokes,
swift and thin on the other side of the gates
