Opposites Attract

Home from the overnight sleeper. Pic.: free-released

 

Zigzagging across the 66th parallel
cosy and recumbent
in a glass-roofed sarcophagus
Thor’s chiffon silk nightshirt
forced to dance by some mad puppeteer
had mesmerised awestruck eyes
created moving magnets

Home
see now the garden
frost-shrivelled to the ground!
Still, no sound
or movement from dead-hung leaves
All around, mist, frozen amber
and so fearfully near
two gaunt, faint holograms

With nightfall
soft lamps define outlines
tinting them with life’s vital bloom
heralding spring, and summer;
dared to hope, predicted too soon?
As snowflakes lighten the landscape
reflections, smiling
pull closer
