Thawing winter world
the sound of water droplets
everywhere
steam rising from soup
seeking equilibrium
as do we all. *slurp*
Cold mountain water
splashes log jams, freezing with
dribbling snowmelt

I'd send warm wishes,
but since Climate's changed winters,
that's no longer cool.

Hold still, Climate Change.
Please just let me live my life.
Let loose on my kids.

je vous lenvoie pour égayer vos petits dejeuner

Elle ne peut plus cacher son ventre
la jeune lune
mais que vont dire les voisins ?

Silent here except
Little noises in big space
Cold creaks the old bones
