Cold companion,
black evening
sits unwelcomed,
draperies shut
tight against
icicle'd panes,
wintry whistles
rattle tea cups,
tepid water
sits undisturbed.
Unforgiving,
minutes are hours
tripping seconds
spent in quiet,
numbing senses;
I feel nothing-
even no one
fails to produce
temporary
relief from self.
Some months ago,
the open door
framed leaves budding
against a blue
languorous sky,
lazy sunlight
settled on sills
disturbing dust,
its warmth pulling
stiff out of me.
Cockled company,
the heart beats deep,
rhythmically,
penetrating
extremities
leaving no point
alone to fend
for its lonesome
during springtime
or summer solstice.
