the wrap
by Kitty Boots
a brittle bundle of thoughts
colliding with satellite dreams
spins, crashes
branches, stark, crowded with crows
scratch at the sky, tremble
a whisper of wind, scented with woodsmoke
teases the nostrils
sparrows peck and back-hop, rustle curled leaves
slapped by frost, morning glories hang limp
inside I light a candle, sit before the hearth
stare at fire, fragrant with cedar
I bite into a mountain apple, sweet, firm
it assuages the bitterness
