A
s t u t t e r
finds frozen lips
breaking waves
across aged wrists

Wind-furled flakes
of long-lost winters
trapped in bruised
m e m o r i e s
of another

Taken away
collapsing breaths
of forced recollection
as night deepens
on fading day

Closing eyes
r e c o v e r
a long lost light
of star-dappled skies;
of fading lies

A
s t u t t e r
carries away
final words
as winter takes
the world once more
