winter

how to handle the winter here*


wilted flowers sewn on felt

compliment handmade clothes

that make them look as dolls

though they wished most

themselves with

stable voices


feigning touch

beneath


skin retracts do

lips respond


seen first

for body or fight

the means to sound—

resound—how to

refrain from


as once was

expected


when melt seeps through

carved nails
