Contrary

Bitterness encroaches on this march of lighter nights,

Thaw of spring still harden’d, frost-frozen without white,

Warmer days elusive, no swallows yet in sight,

Tip to toes still tingling, hibernate without a fight.

Illusory

Elusive,

Illusory,

Merely

Suggestion.

Absent body,

Facial expression

To know.

Smatterings,

Glimpsed thoughts,

Ideas,

As little

Or much

We choose

To show.

 

Painstakingly

Heartfelt

Revelations,

Profound,

Simplistic,

Unrealised

Observations.

Read,

Reread,

Unread,

Poured oil

Pored over.

Understanding

Or incomprehension.
