she is back to being
a mere sliver of a moon
no longer bold faced –
memories of her rich glow
lingers in darker night sky

This Holly Plant lives just outside my door.
A season in turmoil. The circle gets smaller. Loved ones pass on leaving us behind to sort out the ravages of being. Such loss is soothed only by a long spring. But wounds remain so, as we find a way to live with them.
we are left standing
as december roars on through
this season of life
a little more worn, rumpled
but for this, we are grateful

an exquisite fumble
for all to witness
crazy is wide awake
no longer lurks deep within
the door of nutsville flung wide open
as he melts all the way down
like a molten candle
never to regain its shape –
that thread that he hung by
now in free fall
