Winter sunset looms
Distorted oranges and blues
Dali’s melt clock clouds

It is fucking cold
Denver really delivered.
Do not take that bet.

I want summer back
When the sun still warmed my soles
No pilot light needed

It’s so cold today
Even time’s iced over now
My hands are stuck

Down tanuki’s hole
The moss embroidered treasures
Secrets long since lost

Oh, rushing river
Slake me with sacred waters
Deltas bring new life

A turtle flipped
Is soon rescued by strangers
Be vulnerable

A clowder of cats
Speaking their needs so freely
Evolved compromise

Snow melt running down
City streets warmed by sudden sun
Nice day to worry

A dark star rises
eye on a smudged horizon
Ravens makeup change.
