Old Man Winter Blues
Old Man
Winter Blues
He bellows and wails in the
background,
percussion crack-rattling panes,
clattering bones of naked branches
beyond.
I huddle deeper into blankets, lingering
–
listening, awaiting her throaty melody,
anticipating
her hot convection – previsioning
smoky contralto toasting toes,
steaming windows.
She inhales.
Vaulting from bed into slippers
& robe, I bustle,
scatting to the vent,
to savor the sultry bliss of her
suspiration –
bathrobe filling, blowing, billowing
with her warm exhalation.
