Restrictions: None
Seasonal Layers
Gathering about my feet,
Rushing to, fro, back,
Some meet my eye,
Temporary, suspend.
Not like tiny white puffs.
Not like purity icing taut face.

Fun, frivolity beg me,
chase!
I lean into my lone implement —
Dreaming with me —
Dry, puzzling pair.
Why repair — this, calloused.

Forces greater ripple
A patchwork loose-collecting —
The only colors left
Dehydrate, crisp
Like fresh currency
For a beleaguered soul
Not cashing in, yet.

How much more of this
Bliss in an orange scene
Without those little feet
Departing from gravity,
Up to their neck, beg me,
Dive on in! Dive, daddy.

I can’t remember how
To enjoy this scene; can’t top
The autumns we had, kids.

She’s nearly bare; looks fridgid.
Not bundled like me, unzippered,
Releasing body heat
And succulent sweat lent
To the gray sky-air cool-coiling
About a lone body clutching
The dutious implement,
Sent back to earth, combing
Her green, brittle hair.

When will white layers
Hide us all in frozen perpetuity?

Maybe, I’ll work on this, break up, add punctuation, better expressions to capture visions and associated emotion.

Reviewing, writing, alone. Seems perfect.
