Don’t talk to me of December when the trees oh the trees color me the way I am brown and gold and I fall still through the air waiting for wind The sky is melting see how it passes the fold and eases out the wrinkle like time swift the night falls Sundown is like wings now scraping the edge of the ocean I can see it beginning the curl and then darkness haunts the edge and I wonder where the warm is hear it slip and unfurl sail into summer and strip the gauze from nighttime’s cover and mirage Sing me spring skip February this year lay me across a desert mound I’ll not breathe until you wrap with web the storm then glove and pen erect whisper midnight into warm |

Sundown is like wings now scraping the edge of the ocean I can see it beginning the curl and then darkness haunts the edge and I wonder where the warm is hear it slip and unfurl sail into summer and strip the gauze from nighttime’s cover and mirage Your poetry is layered so beautifully~ You know I love the way you write, my best to you dear Martie~ |

This is the month and the season that makes for perfect poetry. Desolation brings out beauty. |

Sundown is like wings now scraping the edge of the ocean I can see it beginning the curl and then darkness haunts the edge and I wonder where the warm is This is so lovely, Martie... wishing you a finding of the warm. |
