official winter middle or near enough

notes for a song, with a pinch and a punch

 

first of a flutter

day like today

 

dim yet

 

lit world

curtain creeping

who’s that?

 

ages out of rain

as with the dreamt

 

the sun as such

far old friend

make leaf light

    grey

and shine the globing

 

refrigeration on the tree!

 

up out of an ache

or into

make it in time for a mist

and breakfast

 

fight the lyre!

 

my path is mud

not so creek

but trickle till  

 

on such a day

breeze by

we call windchill

knock off a few degrees

 

the sun as such

far old friend

makes light of leaf

 

halving the year

call taxes away

from you, from me

shine the globing

spin the thing

 

on such a day

insects consider to be

think better of

 

and folk – as few

or as many

pay homage

in our own little way

 

for instance

as slow to its sky

say, will we see?

 

each

upwardly

mobile

tree
