With Grays and Blues
Awake before the grayscale
Is abolished by morning sun
Leaning naked in the doorway
Watching snow slip
In that silence before birdsong
walking crooked fenceline
The steam of horses
Nostrils flaring kiss her
As the dogs dance behind
snow still now on the hillside
She reads alone
Laughing spilled wine
words she drinks
Content to leave
The kitchen light on
curled again
Linen sheets and quilt
cool skin
She swims
In dreams
Of gray and blue

With Grays and Blues
Awake before the grayscale
Is abolished by morning sun
Leaning naked in the doorway
Watching snow slip
In that silence before birdsong
walking crooked fenceline
The steam of horses
Nostrils flaring kiss her
As the dogs dance behind
snow still now on the hillside
She reads alone
Laughing spilled wine
words she drinks
Content to leave
The kitchen light on
curled again
Linen sheets and quilt
cool skin
She swims
In dreams
Of gray and blue
