Boreal

poetry
As the light recedes into the horizon,
the north wind seep through
cracks in the window
and slits in the door.
My toes are cold
against the bedroom floor,
and I wonder when
my blood will unthaw,
and when
I might feel the light
once again.

Muscle Memory

poetry

01.27.2019 – 11:08 p.m

My brain knows this loneliness well –

it has seen it many times before;

yet my heart still fights in protest,

saying it hurts just like the first time –

maybe even more.
