8:29 on a december morning

















some days reflect
white on white
white to brick-red briskness bites

clarity lingers upon the landscape of loss
opalescent
pearled

knit-one-pearl-two

wind is fierce 
snow shrinks to whisper pools of winter
softly

this is childhood: folded in
dripping joy through holes pierced by an ache so large it fills the sky 
with blue blue rolled up & spilling upon land frozen 
and waiting

knit-one-pearl-two

crispness becomes home becomes bone
as
a cardinal red comes and sits upon this folded day
blue-blue rolled up & spilling

knit-one-pearl-two
