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
