frost perching

frost perches on washing line       whispers to my arms


morse code settles and braille is body's feel


read clearly      it winks to blood and will flow


up where thoughts hide      it feeds praying mantis and dragonfly


hair is a mess but flying things love it also double taking looks


flit through strands      this way and that       there is the lemonmoon


that brothers watch and it calls to arms all that are weak


embrace its cold and hold it to this chest     it cools the hot heart


it cools the hot heart that burns for love's sake that burns under the creamy moon


that burns for splinter and scrap (all is smoke and mirror)


that burns for words spoken though not


in heart      burn on


frost will perch once more     spry      all welcome     


all cool and welcome
