far from home
sunrise this day saturday
saturn's day
nursery colors complemented
by kiva's embered radiance
a dusting of snow
on the front steps light enough
to sweep with a broom
clouds hovering
heavily portend what an interior day
books and music daydreams
wistfulness
nursery colors pink and blue
how many such sunrises
did odysseus see
~
what of penelope days
with needle
nights unraveling
faithful to the unfaithful
who beat
his chest shed tears
who chose to leave
this day
has begun snow swept
tea poured fresh logs
on the fire
who would leave such a place
and leave such a one
alone
Words by one trick pony
