february silence




gift

you tell me that silence
is nearer to peace than poems
but if for my gift
I brought you silence
(for I know silence)
you would say
   This is not silence
   This is another poem
and you would hand it back to me.
-Leonard Cohen

waiting

 

waiting for the chill in my bones to leave. for darkness to be pushed later into night.
there is no option but to wait.

wait for snow to melt. for Time to bring Spring. wait for light.
