these hollow hours of winter


these days on the other side of december 

the other side of snowfall 

sometimes feel so hollow 

as if 

i'm existing inside some snow globe 

insulated

isolated 

awaiting a change 

a different color to bloom against the cool blue-white of winter days 

suddenly a goldfinch lands upon the fence 

startlingly misplaced 

and I am am golden-filled
