151

first of winter

sleep in and dream

the chocolate shop

let someone downstairs

light the fire

there's nothing

I have to prove today

the all-to-do's

as good as done

still it's time

for the bed-baked

to rise

draw blinds

and there's the sudden sun

then you could come to it scarfed

and be basking

or take another dream down

from the shelf

while I'm still building

dream of a sun

and the summer comes called

deals golden

with still standing grass

… in the waking world

it's June

we're towards the shortest day

still a month until year's middle

sun tussles with cloud

and comes out on top

I'm along for the ride

time to take some

back of the scone

mist shows the ridges

on river's otherside

all other seasons

come to this

pass-go of another hemisphere

here there will be no declaration

all the birds still sing
