These stars a strand of piano wire Unwound from pegs in coil of sky Unable to hold the tones or notes That if taut might be wrung from core In a hammered chime of trees Music has bled these Scattered leaves to blend an ashen grey upon sheets This cold cold snow lies the dead of calm Unstirred but by the strings of stars overhead And thoughts that stay within My closed eyes For lips do not whisper secrets Come November’s fugue Let the choir of barren corn stand at attention as it rustles coarse hymns to compositions of wind Written on a manuscript of skin exposed Soft soft throats Now a graveled whisky note of fingertips Traced from bar to bar Clef marked an upside down to Bass Murmured grace on tender lips has frozen to the tip of tongue and will not fall Yet clouds bunch their muscled shoulders And tug hard upon the vowels as moon hangs upon the ligature of stars Forgetting just as I to breathe It snows In braile upon the glass And I Exhale In dreams |

Could you write any more exquisitely! This poem made me smile, for the snow... so patient... and the stars; so achingly far... these you detail so gently. [hanks for all the poems you share!  ~Amaryllis |

A quality piece that requires several careful reads. Thanks for sharing. "We'll chase them like rats across the tundra." |
