Warmth

 

hail 3 winter 2021

 

good morning

time to leave the warm bed

find warmth where it may be had

wrapped around your body

walking the hard icy street

day glow a slow roll of updates

 

good afternoon

winter windows

at a glance turning grey

clouds draughts more of the same

but different with emails

signed warm regards

from almost perfect strangers

 

good evening

climate activists make signs

warming world and softening brain

no one wants to know

news is rich and sundown dense

ramen brings us to our senses

 

goodnight

is blood finding wool

is body warmth again

reading the 17th century in bed

places where lakes froze

outside possums scratch an eave

and drops of rain droppeth
