and when its time to come in, sit, let the sweat dry,
sip a bit while your mind runs away,
ponder thoughts passed in labor,
chess games before the wood stove
when the words in me are nothing more
pale grey whispers of ash, cool silk against flesh
i am not bereaved
i know
to read your mind-pictures
is a feast to the muse
and each piece is a plan
a manoeuvre
against the backdrop of familiarity
that oft-times welcome heat
