windbite

hungry windbite snaps spitsout

bones

hissing sucks marrow howling

gulping whole

and we toothstung

cheeks and

tonguelashed hands and

windfeast in winter famine

prayer for the new year

clean sheets fresh

brewed tea combed

soft hair daylight

rippled with cold

small starts

daily miracles

but inside

stretching delta of

desire

all whole all flowing

reaching ocean abandon

who is to 

say which 

salt is pleasure

which

silt is restraint

all is ecstasy and fertile

live here says

the heart

on every day ordinary

undaunted by

yearning live here

says the heart
