Envoi

By January 21, 2012January 22nd, 2016Writing

Beat it, song.
I’m a better poet
when not in love.
Spring’s going leaves me
winter-sheathed:
crystalline her absence
leaves me.
Sheltered in the pale light
I weave my naked song
a seamless garment;
a fork of hazel
over the dreaming wood,
in search of spring
my prodigal song is gone.
