Winter: Season Opener

I call out
his name
and all
that echoes me
is distance
and it
is way
too cold
tonight

This is a great opening to the holiday season. These things often start in a way that is best expressed with the fewest words, and you did just that. Great poem!

One way or the other, and whether we know it or not...we usually create our own distances. I hope yours grows less.

The eiders are out of summer hibernation, have spread wings to the cold.
Their wrapped feathers are close and warm, but they are only feathers.
