Callous Beauty
Callous beauty
calling westward through the Maine woods to me
beneath the snow I feel the rumble of your
breath as it quickens around me
Come to the place where I toil
learn the pains and joys of my flesh
in this life
we do what we do best
You shine through the woods
the limbs so heavy with icy payloads
I am yearning for you
seeking you out
in this winter quest
wonderland
I wait patiently hidden in pristine visibility
you cannot find me
my callous beauty
it pains me to wait
but I wait
for a thousand days
in frozen hibernation
unto the spring I come
leaping like a frog from a pond
once frozen
now teaming with life
I am digging in the dirt
planting seeds
I look up at you
into your eyes I fall for a moment
then I realize you have only dipped me in this dance and
you are as lost in me as I am to you
I will meet you in the middle
every night
from here
to eternity.
