running through the center
of everything

this morning
the world is blanketed in snow

a veil of white to hide
all the ugly places

a marriage of reality
and need

.

the birds have all
gathered in one corner

waiting to be tossed back out again
scattered through the sky like rice

black on grey
or red on emptiness

.

there is no waiting
now

only tricks of time
and miracles of motion

.

steam rises from tea
on a round black table

the hungry hawk
draws circles
in a sky of pale

remembering blue
with a crooked smile

ever wistful

.
