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

in winter

 I bake.

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.
