Rotational Poem of the Day

Winter

The year's last waves of activity have scattered;
barely before the days have yawned awake,
they yawn shut again; studded into the air's grey mildness
are benign needles of cold, suggesting snow.

Night is a shallow arch over day.

No need now for plans; they grow damp in the air
— throw instead all paper on the fire.
