Snowy whalebacks drift the laneways.
Trees denuded of leaf and cloaked in snow.
Wooly sweaters? No.
A place close to the hearth? No.
Hot chocolate by the mug? No.
I long only for the warmth of your smile... alone!

And for his 12 years growing

Gave his heart, as they do,
Through a divorcing depression
Empathy, always HIS view.
