winter poem
the rain has filled
my eyes
with camouflage--
a wetness
undisturbed
by the droughts
of hiding
sorrow
or covering
sadness
with makeshift
smiles.
the winter, what of it
has not taken
you hostage?
thin skin, chattering
bones shivering
like caskets
when
relent?
who
joy?
for every puddle
beneath my eyes,
the horizon
opens its
arms

wet sleeves
beneath the pen
makes me think of old
Ryokan.....

Re: winter poem
im intrigued
reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---
