Two December Poems

Untitled 12-12-2010

In the quiet womb
Of a cold white afternoon
Alone with a box of moving pictures
Of intensity, with people who never were
In a time that was

Lost in the quiet womb
Of a cold white afternoon
Alone with a dreamy melancholy,
The feeling of something missing



December 19

(December 19, 2010)

Sunday afternoon
Clock ticking
Lonely, at loose ends
Another day in winter's cold womb
Longest night, shortest day looming
Wake me when the sun blooms
And the earth is green and dewy
