late winter light

Killer poem. The piece has a fragmented feel. Very haiku-like. Subdued and penetrating. Made me think of Jean Valentine's minimalist work - and Paul Celan.

The last two lines are amazing:
"world drawn behind its veil--
a kindness"

I think this is in the running for may favorite piece by David Ackley.
