Icey weather

past weather changed the inside
as ice covered the lot
blue shirt? or sweater?
a labored decision where shoes
remain unquestioned
the ice inside was the concern.

the definition of smoke

Sitting in smoke feels like groping
fear and isolation, wonder and sadness
plow through the incensed air
lavender and rosemary pronounce
tension of sleepiness and hunger.
Smoke defines rather than hides.
