The Fields are Soft and the People are Sad

Too warm for February

 
Flattened by the weight

of winter of living

of the day itself

I read in books

how things used to be

when it was colder

when families and lovers

huddled close to the fire

warm on one side

not a soul thinking

run, hide, fight,

those were the days,

Valentine.
