Through Slumber
January 8, 2009
I peer past
my pallid blanket.
Without nod it emits down
that films on eyes and tongue and hair.
I yelp, echo
in black and white negatives.
Musty taste settles—
clashing with frost.
Cyclical wars trigger shivers and quivers.
Beside footprints
and brambles
a threading path.
Nails claw to escape
my glacial cocoon,
to walk my faultless route.
I unfold to receive winter, jolted
with hope or exposed feet.
Brambles stare, begging:
Wait till ice thaws.
Wait till season allows.
