Its winter, cold, stark and yet beautiful Hearts bounded to this existence Fingers interlocked Warming soul breath blows across the palms Sanguine legs warmed against heated stove      Human in thinking, doing and being The virtuous kettle starts to boil Truculent steam sinks quickly to the floor Tea leaf’s start to surf on the gathering tsunami Stale scones start to brown on the stove Honey eases the dry scones path to oblivion      Human to absorb, resist and learn A heavy coat and the door open Scarfed mouth and nose brace the sub-zero air Dogs paws, skiter across the frozen boards Winter boots crunch the snow emblazed path Outside loo engaged      Human to explore, try and teach Spaded snow bound potatoes lifted and sacked Encrusted river trounced and bucket filled Animals fed and watered Mucked and swilled Back aching and poulticed      Human to be tolerate, effect and apt Potted vegetable dances a tango with dried lentils Slices of dried sausage thrown in for good measure Stew partying all day long One bowl for the dog and one for its master Liquify the flour for a batch of scones      Human to dream, play and appreciate Gods hang out heavenly green curtains to dry Driving freezing winds blow for weeks Trees groan from the strain Animals cower in vain A frozen river provides no fish      Human to choose, empathise and endure Banks of glazed snow Moonlit evangelical trees Malls of Isolation, lonely, impenetrable but ajar Welcomed aestivation spreads its joy The curtain on spring time is drawn free of an icy grip      Human to protect diversity, past and future Bear trails getting closer Time for the dog to earn its keep The scent is taken The hunt commences The scope picks up the target The young bear is marking its new territory      Human to destroy, interfere and absolve Pull the trigger The sound echoes around Crows explode into the sky A small cloud of snow billows up The bear now heading East A few judicious air shots keep it heading away      Human to observe, savour and respect Ice starts to give way to the warming sun, air and water Time to check and prepare the boat Set the nets in the river Cherish natures delicate flowers Let the animals out to graze      Human in relaxing, changing and evolving Enjoy riverine skinny dips Untangle knotted hair Adrift in the shallow pool Newly skinned dragon-fly cruises Preened wagtail eyes up the feast      Human to feel, laugh and cry Cleansed of winter odours Calloused fingers ****** with beeswax *** boiled doused clothes Gaping holes where threads fail Skin soaked in warming rays      Human to theorise, invent and engineer Wading through heaving rivers Enjoying fresh food again Bountiful mushrooms Plentiful hunting, trapping and fishing New born in the sty      Human to aspire, educate and archive Turn over the vegetable patch Dig in the winter compost Embed tatties and vegetables Potato atomiser goes for spirited liquid Wood logging, stacking to cure      Human to navigate, articulate and embody Day tripping ventures Mail pick up and friends reunited Provision shopping and wares sold Dental extraction Hair curtailed      Human to socialise, protest and survive Time to be bitten by the flying blighters Darkness gives way to the light of all day Abundant berries and supplies of jam Visit downstream farms with homemade fruity scones Piglet bartering for shorn wool      Human to be mortal, resilient and dependable Dry fish and meat Start to restock the wood supplies Collect the honey bounties Contemplate the shortening days Drying pools and amorous clouds of pollen      Human to shape, fill and transform Rewiring damaged fencing Barn hinge annealed Bury another dog mauled victim Re-shingled roof gaps Collapse into bed every night      Human to lead, serve and follow Reddening foliage Stores a brimming Sacking of nuts Smoking fish and magic mushrooms Last visit to the doctor before the freeze      Human to make life worth living Watch the last of the departing birds Snuggle up with a moonshine viewing the rising moon over mountain peaks Card and spin the wool Pull out the knitting needles for the first jumper of the production year Hibernation and snows will seal the year      Love to be a human
