Winter

Once vivid colors, all shift to grey

This monochromatic depression, how it takes all breath away

Holiday Text from a Millennial in Minneapolis

too broke to travel

too broke to buy presents

too depressed to pretend

you wanna get a drink?

Cold on Love

Beneath lowering skies.

Shadowed by naked oaks.

Blanketed smooth with snow.

Like sown seeds

in permafrost sleeps

her hibernating heart.

Winter’s Sorrow

I slowly lost a loving soul last winter

just as the trees slowly lose their leaves;

Devastating

Winter panes weep window’s eye

Flurries frost a stone-cold hearth

Icicles of teardrops cry

White-out-blind to know your worth

where your heartbeat touches the night stars.

breath of magic agianst my skin.

night walks wrapped in warmth where coldness

still creeps in. unspoken words. & laughter.

Winter

Short, overcast days;

air made visible

by my breath;

snow balls, men and angels;

soft, warm blankets

shared with you.

Winter Words

Your words mean more in the winter when they trickle down like snowflakes and solidify into ice.
