cold windy cold windy cold windy
weather prickles in my head
to write or photograph seems
a supreme affront / effort
some loud deity of only winter
sunlight seems insulted

make a murmur over past
few weeks steal a spell cast
to correct alignments draw
the weather closer make
appointments better assemble
paperwork into a sculpture order
cake and weld vegetables
into a menu feel the body
lift up wildly into a
backbend trade for chocolate
tulips candles headache work
at night work at night nightwork
in the family

from your work you will be able one day to gather yourself.
