Cold

I don’t feel much when
the snow and ice come
because these veins
have been drinking
cold water every day
in the shadow of light

Nothing

Sometimes you have to
fold in on yourself and
curl into a small ball
in an oversized blanket
and just sleep into it

The Cold Side of the Pillow

The cold side of the pillow
is only a reminder of the
choices I continue to make
that suit where I am at
this point in my life as
an older gentleman
who is much more
comfortable in the cold

The Crispness of the Air

I want you to blow through me
to match the coldness I hold
inside of this aging, weary body
held together by years of love

Slow Mornings

Weekends are time to
peddle softly into a
wide open field of grass

Unmade beds mirror
mussed morning hair
and rumpled sheets

Subtle Drops of Sunshine

A slow breeze glances
your hand dipping into
the blades beside you
and time opens up
