Today, a long time ago

This day has no real description
it was a day of fullness
and emptiness 
and rainclouds with bits on thunder
the thunder struck me and I knew I was buried a moment
I marveled at the ease 
of the dirt surrounding me
but birdsong tied me in knots and brought me back
she sung to me
but left me tangled in my own dreams

    I wait for winter
    in her heavy white boots
    and sharp sparkling nails
    her 5th avenue white fur coat
    and flushed pink cheeks
    she wears black tights
    taught over thin, toned legs
    summer and autumn
    watch her in envy
  • roots

    My deep tangled roots
    Twisted into knots
    Running cross country
    Are dragging towards the ocean
    Yearning for the sun dripping down
    Over wet seals bodies
    In warm embrace
    I want nothing to do
    With this life
    Today,
  • Sunday

    The rain has found its way
    Onto our mountain
    Drenching each new bud
    Reaching for life 
    In the foggy air
    Smothering their joyous cries
    As mud seems to engulf us
    One 
    By one
