Winter Song

by Lisa Marie Popp  

 

lying sleepless

in her bed

she is

a wreck of dreams

(a broken stem)

I know that song

chemical, cave, & fire

this living wonder

the more you love

the more you have to lose

the risk

the thin space of sky

the more of it

the more

there is

to lose

will you ghost

or will you angel?

take your blue

and take your wander

which winter

did you hide in?

I’ll take my chances

on it.
