“…no joy that had been lost…”…“Interlude” my poem
the in-between time…
Interlude
I dither, partly knowing
that the change advances slowly,
in languid tempo,
shuffling images dulled
by the absence of the sun,
partly knowing that an advent
takes good time
and does not give it back,
partly knowing that the season
brings no freshness,
no joy that had been lost,
partly knowing that bald winter
is the portent of the scattering leaves…
I am content to do the waiting.
