Sleet

Recall through the face at the door

that saturday morning one solid blank

grey window, scrubbed slab

beyond, several feet and more

laid the catapult, a pointed edge

from a distant acre fed, wind-side.


The concentric pattern in velvet

curtain brushed my hand as I reached

to turn and swing, oiled lock routine

the knives of cold the comfort

between the welcome and rain

rutted yard yawns closed, beyond.

This is not easy reading once through; but given the courtesy of a reread, or even two, the word associations become very intriguing indeed. I, also, enjoy this.

I enjoyed this very much, David. Concise, but contains so much.
