ㅤ utter your paeans
to a moon indifferent
chill and distant

when a candle
pricks through the cloak of night
no need of plasters

The cosmos becomes a vexing blizzard as eyes slide shut. Pleasant smells of the Linden tree become colorful charity in magical dreams. The fishing rod dips closer and closer to the water. Ask the fish to wait.

Wait! Breakfast. Wake little sage. Hurry over the bridge so rosy cheeks may meet the buffet in Pale Gear.

Pale Gear

The town hall's watchtower stands tall in the back keeping the people and fields safe. Walking through the town, hammers clang and kitchens hum. The horses neigh in the stables and people come and go.

Season's Greetings

The last card's finished, gossip told!
I don my puffy winter coat,
wrap woolen scarf around my throat,
then trudge my way through new-laid snow,
dodge car-slung slush—frenzied shoppers in a rush
cannot spare a thought for us.
I reach the box, drop greetings in the post;
returning now with spirit lighter, joyous,
anticipating warmth and tea and toast.
