Two small cardinals
Sitting on a naked branch
Waiting on springtime
She floats – transparent
Ghost descending down the stairs
She evaporates
Cast iron skillet
Egg cracked open and sizzling
Next to round sausage

I am cold upon this floor,
in the spot I lie.
embers – out
blizzard – strong
I lift a gentle sigh,
breath white in front of me.
The snow – all around.
Entombed
Peace I finally see.
Ghost in the dark hall
Fading into nothingness
Vanishing from view

Yum, I say,
as this rat chews soft.
Yum, I say,
while sitting in my loft.
Damn, I say,
as the days drift long.
Damn, I say,
it’s all gone wrong.
Bright and shiny moon
Hanging high in the dark sky
Among twinkling stars

Embers almost cold,
my will is weak,
food – gone
I start to seek.
Any type of food,
anything to turn,
away this hunger mood,
anything, please, I yearn.
Robin in the tree
Shining star of warm springtime
Shivers in the cold

Bright and shiny like jewels

Watching the snow fall,
chilling my desire,
waiting on a sign of hope,
dying embers in the fire.
Trapped like a beast,
within the blizzard of snow,
food – scarce
my bones begin to show.
