Day # 82: A poem for Monday

# 82
Melting has begun.  Yay!


Careful tears
roll down my cheek,
a  leak
in the tarp I've
placed over my head
to keep the sense
of a lost being
from boring into
my heart
like a woodpecker
who returns to the same
old tree stump
zeroes in on the
nest of insects;
making it bleed.
My heart bleeds
each November,
it bleeds
from a hole as
soft as silk.
