WALKING HOME FROM WINTER
_____

MY WINTER GIFT

Downey skin so white
like a cold glass of fresh milk.
Unwrapping Christmas.


MOTHER

1.
Labor
In such pain is love
her voice reaching higher halls
giving birth with God.
2.
In Genuflect
Here to care for you
I am more than man or son
I reflect your light.
3.
Taking Care
Even when you've gone
still unworthy, in your debt,
once our roles reverse.


ASPHODEL SNOW

Gossamer winters
caught in fractal panes, your sighs:
white breath of flowers.


WARM / HEARTH

Fires for our nights
we once feared the cold unseen
now an "Ansel" scene.


PERPETUAL STUDENT

Effulgence of youth:
wit for blades to speak their minds,
turns left yet keeps right.


ONE

     So first and foremost
     "nothing is impossible"
     since once was for all.

TWO

     Love cannot be spelled
     with an "I" nor  g.o.d.
     yet with two it's "good"


DUSK**

My mortality
tho' bright, reminds me like them
sunsets in your eyes.
