Midwinter
*
*
Daybreak
Beneath the weeping skies
Defiant postmen peddle
Head down
Along early morning lanes
~
Rattle of letterboxes
Bring get rich promises,
Tidings of the Christ Child
and unpaid bills
~
In the woodlands
Under lifeless leaves
Strings of life are stirring
Saffron tipped harbingers
Of the infant spring
