the glint
of the cold,
it blinds me.
*
in its glare
i lose all sight.
*
yet
underneath
a sliver of moon,
hope drips down
and the steady sound
holds me, tight.
*
how quickly
are my thoughts
buried, set aside
… by what is seen
… by what has been
until they are
nearly forgotten.
*
still
the dirt,
grounded by it’s very nature,
remembers.
‘thaw’ taken from 6:15-17 of job.
inspired by my friend j’s new venture: green knitting, teaching and literature all in one.
turns out that it actually is easy being green
despite what kermit says.
*
‘how precious‘ and ‘stature‘ are here to show you just how easy.

‘green’ taken from 6:39 in the book of mark.
so i have been bursting …pop…
…pop… with wanting to write
of my patterns in the upcoming petite purls green issue.
to not, i have written nothing for days.
and tomorrow,
the issue goes live.
finally you can see the fantastic photos that nicole took
of ‘stature’ and ‘how precious’.
tomorrow.
for tonight it is raining.
the kind that closes roads and fills up cellars.
my neighbor up the road
had firemen at her house pumping water out and shutting down the furnace.
my neighbor down the road has to park her car at the end of her driveway
and actually row in a rowboat to get to her house.
patterns and photos seem pretty small
by comparison, no?
but
‘the sun’ll come out tomorrow
betcha bottom dollar that tomorrow they’ll be sun’
(can’t you just hear her singing along as you read?)
