Time Stands, Still Waiting


Time Stands, Still Waiting

Upside-down brooms bristling pearly condensation.
They sweep up heavy silence into the wind
whooshing delicate strands and seeping slowly
into my bones, expanding with ice
they crack like cemented earth.
Green specialized needles hold no fluttering
of wing, chattering of squirrels.
The only living chatter is my teeth.
Time stands, still waiting for a glint
of sun to wake up splattered mud.
