This Side of December



This Side of December

Winter arrives
Cold dark hollow
Icy solace
On the bank of
A mighty river

Raindrops fall
Through frozen air
Break the surface
Become one with
Angry waves

Teardrops fall
Hot and salty
Breathless remembering
Of the way here
Of the way home

Steely clouds
Ripped wide open
Weep shamelessly
State of the heart
This side of December
