MICHAEL LEE JOHNSTON Maple Tree Night and Snowy VisitorsWinter tapping hollow maple tree trunk- a four month visitor about to move in unload his messy clothing, be windy about it- bark is grayish white as coming night with snow fragments the seasons. The chill of frost lays a deceitful blanket over the courtyard greens and coats a ghostly white mist over reddish gold maple leaves widely spaced teeth- you can hear them clicking like false teeth or chattering like chipmunks threatened in a distant burrow. The maple tree knows the old man approaching has showed up again, in early November with ice packed cheeks and brutal puffy wind whistling with a sting. poetryrepairs #197 v14.02:019

MEGAN WEBSTER ShavingsThe shaved moon turns her sickle back to Venus and stars shower through her lunar arms fast as blinks. Shaving by shaving she waxes to full bloom, then turns her smooth face to Venus to celebrate Winter Solstice. poetryrepairs #197 v14.02:019 |
