I will distill my senses
melt it in the early winter snow
and cast it in iron mould of memory
to carve a little needle to stitch small
threads of hope for the eternal summer
winter owes me time for hibernation,
fogging the only street I knew
rolling the mist over the only window
with a view, turning icicles to the only
breath I could touch, suspending to dreams
the only memories I had
Spring will yet melt this winter
sending letters in green envelopes
to addresses unknown and yet I without a name,
an exile of summer, would keep turning over
the dead bodies, searching the coats for
a letter to deliver my name.
deep! but why the dead bodies?
ReplyDeleteYes, it's intense. I loved the second stanza a lot - the whole of it. Read it a few times, and it's perfect!
