the stage fades to black and I find myself talking to my self
outstretched arms invite the winter sun to be devoured
deal sealed: darkness agrees to be gentle
winter at dawn silence earns its wings
this winter day i give thanks to the sea and gods for the salt and bounty
silver fish rushing through the winter seas still carry a glint of the sun
unburdened by changing skies the flesh stands still against angry tides
democracy is dead: tired minds drift from opinion to opinion but none their own
the winter moon sits on a cold hill and together they imagine warm days
