It's raining again
weary and wintry
the garden sulks
a rose stiffens
blood thickens
cold hands wrap
a coffee cup
personalized
clocks strike home
the past parades
faces I've favoured
loves that floundered
tasteless tears
arguments won
and adrift again
under a fractious
moon
Jazzing up Shay’s word garden list from Langston Hughes’ “The Dream Keeper“
