Weighed in Cold

by Alan Hodge / March 10th, 2019

Green is black, blue is grey,
and frost lies diamond white,
waiting for the sun.

shadow stragglers trapped in dells and river bottoms,
encircled, lost.

A dust mote falls around a star in the ancient deep.
The long swells break upon my heart’s shore.
