It's Still Life

Twiglet #60

Deep

It’s the last
finger of winter scouring
the moon full and flat.

I swept tongue-cold
spiderwebs from the air
this morning. Wisps

of meadow fog
on the drift,
cat-whisker soft.

It’s a boundless deep.

 

 

Twiglet #60: a boundless deep

    Misky, this is simply breathtaking. That first stanza. Those “tongue-cold spiderwebs.” Oh, my. I am chilled to the bone, just reading this.

    “of meadow fog

    If I had to pick a favorite line.
    I am so looking forward to being out of winter’s boundless deep!

      I’m looking forward to that, too. The crocuses are ready to open though, so hope reigns.
