Winter Solstice (Bonus Track)
It was cold is all I remember
It was dim and dimming
Bare stems quivered, maybe
I don't know, it was cold
It was cold to hear the cats
Blazoning wishes on the wind
They howled about fair wages
For the fair work of living
It was cold to see the sky
Gazed upon by poets
Did they know the fire in the stars
Burns also in their hearts?
In this winter in my head
A light snow powdered park benches
We passed under yellow ovals
And blinked in the clement dusting
The moon drew out memory
And left our shadows huddling.
Habitual itinerants, seasonal disaffectives
Loiterers wandering in the elements
Do you know the weight that breath
Can achieve, just like absence?
The cats who all night announced their location
Paused to let light announce the morning
I am reminded how far I've come
And how far yet is left to go
It was cold, I remember. It was dim and dimming.
Thank God darkness is temporary
It was dim and dimming
Bare stems quivered, maybe
I don't know, it was cold
It was cold to hear the cats
Blazoning wishes on the wind
They howled about fair wages
For the fair work of living
It was cold to see the sky
Gazed upon by poets
Did they know the fire in the stars
Burns also in their hearts?
In this winter in my head
A light snow powdered park benches
We passed under yellow ovals
And blinked in the clement dusting
The moon drew out memory
And left our shadows huddling.
Habitual itinerants, seasonal disaffectives
Loiterers wandering in the elements
Do you know the weight that breath
Can achieve, just like absence?
The cats who all night announced their location
Paused to let light announce the morning
I am reminded how far I've come
And how far yet is left to go
It was cold, I remember. It was dim and dimming.
Thank God darkness is temporary
