The Peregrine Review
Abstract
how often does your heart push away
the very human impulse of sorrow?
a flurry of the unexpected
makes us numb
when the peppery cold that lies softly on our hearts
stings far more for its imperceptibility
than for its gentle defiance of what cannot be controlled
it is easier to lie down and collect the dust
of what once moved freely in joyous waves across the shoreline
than to brush off the cold
