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.
