a cold morning

 

we wake to find the hills, the pines

dusted with a confection of snow

our single pane glass frosted, rimed

and stillness pregnant but utter

i blow smoke rings of winter air

snuggle deeper beneath our quilts

search and find her warmth 

saturday, all things are possible

a drive to tsankawi, a hike, a picnic

in the cold bright sun, los alamos

in the distance, beyond that tegucigalpa

aur0ra borealis, ulaanbaatar, the pequod

but first an inventory of what is right

a catalog of events unreported, ours

Had to look up all the place names in your
lovely warm, romantic poem! Loved "I blow smoke rings of winter air"

Loving the place names. They give the poem a particular music.
