saturday sunrise to sunset.

********

thoughts and feelings lay deep on this cold day. 
the frigid wintriness still runs within me:
a river frozen at the edges 
with only a bit of open flow 
exposed and metered. 


i feel more alive at the half-light.
chores await me in the kitchen. 
the day is far from over
yet the sunglow has dipped behind the mountains.


this dusk. 
this time without light.
this polar chill. 
this is the frosty hinterland where i make my home.
