Winter reveals
What was once hidden by summer’s
Great bounty and bloom
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Beds of lichen abound
Sotal snuggles ‘neath laurel
We shiver and sneeze
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Someone always breaks
The silence, limestone dishes
Today it was me
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Sunshine leaks through limbs
Prisoner escapes shackles
Seeks retribution
_______________________________________________________________________________________
I’m not inspired
By density or great mass
Or narrow pathways
