Folding and Unfolding


outdoors the cold
wraps our bodies
layer upon layer
and the darkness
folds in the day
tighter, tighter

seasonal demands
weave themselves
layer upon layer
a myriad strands
that tie us up
tighter, tighter

but what's tied up
can be untied
what's wrapped
we open
the folded year
unfolds again
again

  1. i love the cold so much! i know it is a bit unusual but i just can't get cold enough. i bake at 40 degrees! i've only started using poblanos in the last couple years. i seed them and de-vein them and that holds the heat down but adds a robust flavor that i love!

  2. I used to be pretty cold tolerant, but this winter has driven me inside too much. Maybe I will give poblanos another chance. They are an excellent size for stuffing!
