Hibiscus















It's: -19° F

The sun is sharp and shining.
The cold air cuts the lungs.
The eyes are puffy.
The nose is stuffy.
The snow is fluffy.

What a day to dream about Hawaii
or Tahiti!

What a day to float into a painting by Paul Gauguin.
Drift through the intense hues to warm one's inner bones --
armature of spirit!

Suspended,
buoyant,
deliverance,
into soft, soothing, flora,
sweet with the fragrance
of warm seas.
