from the other side

--here--
the view vast
soft blue cold
wildness upon my tongue
tangled contentment
soft blue contentment
      this winter's afternoon
restless yearning
held in by the hands of time
hands of my own design 
palliative amusements linger over licorice tea & marzipan tempests
sweeping winds carried on the backs of nuthatches
soft blue cold
wrapped wool knowing  

sing to me of water & dreams
sing to me of winter's bite
hold me in golden arms that smell crisp & ripe
sing to me of home
of ancient fields folded

soft blue cold
this view from the other side
