White Skies

white skies
mopped the other colors; 
winter loves a good disguise. 

white skies 
disinfected the season; 
holiday dough won't rise. 

white skies 
surrender unarmed; 
each minute another flake dies.

Indifference

Electric lights,
strung out
like pearls
on the neck of the night.

Stale sunlight,
odorless
like young love–
Winter Jasmine off-white.

Pluck away
each androgynous day
without pain.

I love her,
I love him not.
In filtered light,
it’s all the same.

  Thank you kindly, John. The more I can be out and connected the more I can mix in reality with my wild machinations. Here’s to the end of year break and more time to soak it all in.

Beautiful verse, K. This is my fav, “Electric lights,
strung out
like pearls
on the neck of the night.” Wonderful.

“Pluck away each adronymous day without pain” very tangible feeling
Brilliant wording

  Thank you, I was thinking of the daisy’s we pluck, but also how it’s become more about not he loves me or she loves me but something less genderfied. Appreciate you reading and commenting, Michelle.
