The sun descending;
winter’s breeze through the catkins,
sharper on my cheek

The sun descending;
winter’s breeze through the catkins,
sharper on my cheek

They laugh when meeting
Stances speak louder than sounds –
The cold is dismissed
Copyright Francis 2023

And where do I walk?
My body follows the mind –
cold breath returning

Keeping warm and safe
I could carpet the whole earth –
I will suit myself

drops on the window
clouds scudding low in the dark –
smiles at the rainbow
