a stretch of winter

it's a beautiful stretch
of winter
that we lie in.

a lovely
delay of life. a place
to contemplate

the past,
and to organize
the present.

the bare lines of trees.
the metallic
stream.

how kind the grey skies
are

keeping us indoors,
our ears to the window

awaiting another storm.
with no where to go

no pressing engagement
to attend to.

we stay put with
loved ones.

let those north winds 
blow
and blow

and blow.
