Chinook
by Leonard M HawkesI relish this warm
That will not last—
Brightness temporary,
Soon to pass:
False Winter
In a smiling face,
Cold death
Behind a mask of grace.
I spend time "out",
Less need for home--
Anxiety intuitive of a
Bondage yet to come,
Akin perhaps, to Christmas light--
Brightest in the seasons’ night.
12/10/2014 Author's Note: Fascination with the unusual season here as we approach the solstice.
