Seasonal Dissatisfaction
The ground cannot be broken
so burdened is it under the press of frost.
I walk with care
feeling beyond the chill
the volcanic possibilities
beneath my very toes.
The geese fly distracted above me.
Are they looking for Spring
or is it chasing them?
Yes, between my life and the raging fires
of earth's belly
Winter intrudes.
The moon is blue tonight.
Chilled to the very bone of Cosmos.
