27.1.11

N O N E W Y E A R.


The temperature boasts tepid 
a most exciting adjunct to this new year, 
the weather in Scotland seems the only warm front.
Traditional thoughts could not promulgate a more bitter frost.
There is a mirror to capture my exterior,
to cast the length of my frame, 
anew and ripened for Springs arrival.
Though, my complexion argues, 
its likeness barren.
Worn from winds of a previous locale.
January's mistress emits ennui.
A sexual storm has calmed,  only a light snow lingers,
but the task at hand reflects a thin veneer,
a cerebral black ice. 
This proves to be yet another desire to just slip my mind.
