winter solstice 2014




Fire

It is never too cold to make one.

Smoke

I watch it dance
Increasingly fine moves
Till it disappears completely.

I trust that what I have burned will find its way,
To inform my new moves.
The smell of smoke remains,
my gratitude for such a ferocious dance.

I'm ready for a new dance card now,
But not waiting for a partner.

  2. Paint it . . . and name it "Guernica II." I know I can't afford it or I would offer to buy it.
