Pseudo-Summer

Looks like summer
save the “bare-skin” trees

sky’s all blue, totally,
yet cream colored branches
tangled with utility wires
provide a rich contrast
of dark and light to the azure

private homes
give a quilt-like appearance
and though we see them as separates,
they, we, are all connected
within the wires’ stretches

separate
yet tapped in to the same power
the same resource
a camaraderie
of which we seldom ponder

it’s a faith we hold in common
a faith that the power will be there
at the flip of a switch
or the lifting of a receiver
we ask
we receive
as long as we remit
from sleeve’s labors

amazing

the power to communicate,
regardless of distance;
the power to be warm
within the truth of the season,
despite the sunlight,
this day has not reached 30º F,
yet those abiding are warm

Judging by the fact that it is about
-15 F outside right now I am not complaining!

It seems upside down

Slow to start vague and by the time you have the words only friends are left.

Writing and style fine but upside down.
