winter dusk
trail of petals leads to
little one
winter dusk
trail of petals leads to
little one
the rasp of leaves in the winter dark
corridor garden flicking worm from flower
hypnotic
the ceiling fan
gently spins
morning crows taunt the living and frail
winter half moon night has taken its share
after dawn
flesh against leaves
learning to feel
soot and soil blackened fingertips scavenge
dredging dead matter winter surface
next door the cigarette smoke fills paradise
