A Winter’s Tale

By: Charles Giuliano - Dec 12, 2017

Making Book

Gray light through tall windows
Early winter in the loft
Heavy snow today
Off to Stowe this weekend
Holiday celebration
Gift to share then
Settled in yet again|
Starting another book
Recalling efforts of
First four
Heavens to Betsy
Now one more
Where to begin
Drag and drop to Word
All those poems
Posted last two years
Random and chaotic
Task to sift through
Trying to make sense
Finding threads
Connecting themes
Trashing stuff
Not everything wonderful
Brutal triage of
Things once timely
Just trite tawdry junk
Yesterday’s newspapers
Wrapping stinking fish
Like fucking Trump
Slash and burn
Bonfire of the vanities
Honing in on universals
Things that last forever
After you and me long gone
Just wait and see
Eye of newt tongue of bat
A witch’s brew of soup and stew
These long dark months
Rich with dreams
When Persephone sleeps with Hades
Until hell freezes over
