Fey: Winter’d Little Girl by Alison McKenzie
If I told you
I was the coming winter snows,
Would you lie down in
The pristine drifts of my soul
Until the bitter winds
Drove you back to
The warmth of home’s hearth?
I am whispering
Through the fade of
Love’s question,
For I will eventually
Trickle away
While you endure
To face February
And the debut
Of a brand new spring.

Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 10/20/15 at 12:23 AM Every line in this is so well thought out. "I am whispering
Through the fade of
Love’s question," my favorites this read through. Great flow and subtleties. |
