Winter tired

.

Overpowering

urge to sleep like a baby

these endless dark days

Wet winter

 

The noon skies darken

forcing premature nighttime

heavy raindrops fall.

Day end

 

Sky blue turns to gold

to orange to red to black

this winter nightfall.

Moonlight

.

My late night waking

draws me toward the window

dark skies, bright moonlight.

Waiting it out

 

Inexorable

my time in time will come, but

will I welcome it?

 

by Scooj

Crows

 

Guardians of my

soul, they wait patiently for

my death, cackling.
