Unfinished Drafts
Unfinished drafts from my past
Swirl and fall like dried brown leaves
All through these mid-winter nights.
Carrying my tears like unseasonal rains
From heartaches of some distant years
They float and roll and gather at times
To burn into sustaining warmth.
Hunched within dark, I stretch out my hands
And seek out old words within flames.
