january's the year
where mottled greyness
mingles in with a spitting torrent
of teawater
and shyly showing
slowing
a shadowed gold wisp
of cloudy hushedness
settles past broken branches
and scratched identity
mossed-over
past purple stones
upon the leaves of day
and afternoon's
gleaming water shimmer
though fathomed reaches falls
into icy teacup thoughts
through unswept orange light
in shortened shadows
down from a scudded moon
of frog dimples
and imperfect rays
as fire-cold steam
rises to a rapid slip-stream
and crish-crash clouds
hush and sigh:
diminished lightening shock
