Now is not the time
to close down
curl up
burrow under
the comfortable warmth
of last year’s deadleaf
expectations
but time to run lightquick
down dank halls
fling open
windows and doors
to mooncold and windsilver
to wolfhowl and winterbird
song
This has such a great rhythm, Jennifer. Love it.

I love this so much I almost didn’t post mine. I especially love “deadleaf expectations,” “mooncold,” “windsilver,” and the mood you create with “dank halls.” Sublime!
