1December2025

 


winds ripe for Christmas, cutting,

seers through my old skin and

frozen hands.  But oh sweet wind

blow hard and cold, I will not remember you,

fewer and fewer are my  days

I don't care how much you bite me.

forgotten blasts scurrying across the fields

  bare and barren trees

faded into time itself and

these black skeletons wet

from last nights rain are

all that remains of my

Decembers.   

Let me enjoy you now with

your whetted edge, biting into

aching bones, 

Come, blow my scarf across my face

blast and blow 

echo down my chimneys

scare the gulls

just let me have 

one more December.
