DORMANT IN DAY

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dormant in day

cold,
stagnant air clenching

and you standing

plastic
picture-frame smile

while parasites feed

on barren limbs

desolate apparitions

hallucinations

discarded tendrils

stems
and strands

bleak barriers

dormant
dalliance
dawdling

only sighing, sleeping

hidden roots
creeping

quiescent
embrace when winter fades

season’s dance begins

come… call…cry…

for spring soon awakens…

Author's Note

It will end and spring will come.. hold on...

The poem sets this perfect image of gloom, and then at the end it's like the sun coming out of the clouds after a storm. Beautiful, as usual. =) Great job!
