Bitter Beat Sugar
Each day of snow she tells me
Her troubles still lie in waiting
Gently stirred in a tea of bitter beat sugar
Swirling in the chipped enamel cup
Her life portrait incomplete
At night the falling flakes become audible
Beneath her breath they coalesce in resignation
To the ground where I sometimes find her
Breathing fogs on vinegar mirrors
Her strength a rimed reflection of rejected moonlight
Beyond arrival is a wet cold place
Love its only source
