Darrow Poems 12-17-23

the wind mutters and
rambles around the eaves
trying to remember what
it was going to say

* * *

in a corner by the woodpile
the cats have tied themselves
in a knot to keep warm

* * *

the fallen leaves,
wet with winter rain,
fade from red to brown

* * *

the fire snaps and crackles
in the hearth, its breath
sweet with cherry and pine

* * *

walnut wood, brown
as a summer tan,
pours forth heat in winter

* * *

frost on the windows,
becoming the cobwebs
of wintertime

* * *

pouring beeswax for candles,
sunlight turned liquid,
and then solid

and someday, light again
