The winter breath blows away all the cards as one, A tempest puzzling solitaire or a sly niggling pun, "Have lost all my -," but I stir my stew of potatoes, With the snowfall to thin, while I still feel my toes. A doe watches my movements like some magic Sorrow here to cool to ice and leaving eclectic Visions to hover about the whitened meadowland. My fire is dying without pleasure of a feeding hand. Frozen flakes light on my tongue with a gladness That I have forgotten my past identity of sadness For the few moments spent within winter's parade. Images of a warm death huddled in this iced glade. It would not be so terrible to become a winter statue. Tears frozen at their source, with the images of you Silent at last to stop the pain and truculent blame. Cracked lips to smile, showing teeth, without shame. A winter king with a crown of icicles and snow stars. No more the drinking sickness or tugging guilt wars. I will sleep when it is coldest and dream like heroes, The North Star on my forehead like a new white rose. © 2002 DPMcClellan [This message has been edited by StarGoat (02-06-2002 11:57 AM).] |
