Smothered
in this deep
winter bleakness
as the sun
walks away from us,
an ancient journey
to be traveled
once again
but I will hold fast
in my memory the days
when it seemed
close enough
to pull from the sky
and whisper to
I remember
each moment
it warmed us
and the wondrous twilight
when we squinted
as it danced broad
along the water’s edge
these memories
of the sun,
they will offer me solace
through the gathering darkness
as we patiently await
the lushness of the equinox
with a certain feigned indifference
that fools no one.
