winter


Where are you going my youth?
my fears, my poetry, my lines blown away
by whisky and aircraft crashing like a clash of cymbals
Where are you going my sanity? my images
that walk out on me and leave me whimpering
like silly old Calcutta
Where are you going my love? drying my tears
in tampons and the nowhereness of sorrows

VAL MAGNUSON
Chill Factor

When all the world is sky
And every cloud unchained
May, long crested as a harbinger-
To some, somber discordant bay
Every summer song stilled
Scattered to iced woods' dreams-

The hemisphere no longer clear
Dripping wind and rain
Stardust suspended
Like evening shadows
Against timeless winter days-

The Gray Lady's palette is unpacked
Bristled tools and pallet knives
Monochromatic tones arrayed
Intermixed in dreary ways
And, how, she stays-

The captive audience held in chains
As the colors from the world are drained
Her work the only piece displayed
"Winter Still Life in Shades of Gray"
