Feasting


Nutrient enriched
hot blood scouring a warm heart
oiling an engine

cleansing for winter
preparing tough arteries 
lean months meagre meals 

feasting in springtime
sun rising before seven
hardened hearts relax

snowdrops crocuses
at first one daffodil bloomed
now many blossom

carrots potatoes
simmering in a pot roast
early afternoon

winter sun rising
low in the sky having climbed
above the tree line
