a spontaneous poem, december 28

Hibernation.
back to basics,
breathing softly,
taking in the smell of snow
and growing strong from my bones
to my lungs,
reflecting on a year’s worth of dancing
a year’s worth of sounds,
which have grown old in the ground
they rest in like roots
taking heart in the spring
an oasis from fools and the folks who inspire sadness-
can you imagine,
to take a break from the cold
only to step into a bog of old papers
and ideas sour to taste,
worst we speak in haste
we speak in pain
we speak in graceless sentences
and break hearts we did not know existed.
For this, I hibernate.
Wait for the snow to teach my soles to dance
again, renewed.
