A Crawl in Winter

A Crawl in Winter

A Poem by Alfred Kukitz
"

taken from love

"



A Crawl in Winter

In the long crawl of winter
I've seen your cold exhaled air
carry my breathlessness,
Carry it away
To tombstone fine
where I can play eternal
as stone spells my name
Withered from a cold heart
that weathers herself fine
in evening clothes
my dead soul gone
As she loves the self
she barely knows.

Such a warm piece thank you for sharing
and for stopping by my page.

The" long crawl of winter" will soon be over, but I shall miss the warmth of poems, like this!

in some ways i think of my dad when reading this...and how he has been so depressed with my mom gone...their 70 years together...and his heart is withering...
i haven't had contact with him for awhile...but this is pretty much what my sister says...he is living with her now.

thank you for this poem.
