Winter
Sun
As thin as a trickle
of water from the kitchen
tap when the pump fails
or the power’s cut off.
Last week it burned.
Now I can sit here
raising my face
for a kiss that never comes.
The earth turns. Ready or not.
(This is my attempt at a quadrille. Thank you to Rosemary Nissen-Wade for the inspiration to try one!)
winter's been a while coming!
ReplyDeleteYes, it really took it's time here in The Pocket. And then - bang. No autumn this year. One day sundresses, the next day, my trusty fleece.....
DeleteGorgeous.
ReplyDeleteA most successful attempt! Yes, it has been a sudden transition to winter this year, up here in the Northern Rivers.
