Warm Coverlet

Snowflakes float in all directions:
fragile, hapless crystals
borne by chancy breezes
less stable than hearts' in bloom.

Giddy water molecules
transformed into hexagons,
or other symmetrical shapes,
ascending, or descending,
flippant like Chaos’ unrelenting hazard.

One heart beats erratically,
attuned to nature’s dance,
from a lofty metal bed.
Quilted and pillowed,
eyes unfocused,
gazing at gauzy air.

This heart is not hampered
by diffident frozen droplets,
a myriad of them
tracing patterns on steamy
window panes,
cautioning those languid eyes.

Soothing, salty tears
shed by an exiled mind
on white cotton robes
in harsh winter's clime…

Will snow keep this heart cozy,
under a geometric patchwork
stitched by chuckling old ladies?

God’s creatures lie dormant
beneath snow’s warm coverlet.


By Psyche, Bariloche, Argentina. 2016

The Lord replied, my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.


"There is no life higher than the grasstops
Or the hearts of sheep, and the wind
Pours by like destiny, bending
Everything in one direction."

Sylvia Plath, Crossing the Water, Wuthering Heights.
