Creative Life: On Cold and Flame



Runge Nature Center, Jefferson City, Missouri. December 2006.


Wintry in Missouri.

My hands are cold, but another's vengeance drip, drip, drips a molten sludge of thick poison into my gullet, seeking to liquidate my spirit.

My hands are cold, but my gut twists from a dull, yellow ember of acid fear that seeks to burn.

My hands are cold, but my heart constricts from a subterranean rage that seeks to consume it.


Come soon, spring.


Icy serviceberry, Jefferson City, Missouri. December 2006.
