Beautiful, but the cold feeling this poem forces me to recall is something I don't miss. There's a kind of stasis that the weather forces upon everyone in the northern climates at this time of year that is both gorgeous and awful. Anyway. Thank you and Happy new year!
My problem? I savor each phrase. I treat each phrase as a whole poem. It takes my breath away. My resolution? I’m going to cut and paste the poems then just put a single phrase on a note to nourish my soul for days. Then when I’m ready I’ll live with the next phrase. Thank you Joseph
The whole thing - so beautiful.
And this is perfection . . .
"A silence beyond
mind, beyond thought. The way air
and light hum soundless-
ly over a field patched with
frost. The way vision listens."
