i love winter's end
find the cold keeps playing havoc
with my aging bones
feel as if i have been dropped from
the dome of saint peter's basilica
dragged behind a chariot in the valley of the kings
my stars say
i must ensure my limbering up exercises
are less strenuous in the future
THIS WEEK'S WORDS come from "Lines for Winter" by Mark Strand: cold, dome, valley, bones, keep, play, stars, find, end, limber, winter, love
I don't think many of us would do all that well a few centuries back, exercises or not.
