An icy sharp breath
A moon, cold silvery blue
Our winter has come

An Old Woman's Tale (Part 1)
The wind pushed through the cracks of the ramshackle house. Barely livable. That’s what she called it. Everything worked though, the lights were on, and an aggressive fire was burning in the woodstove that sat on broken tile. There was a soft spot on the floor in front of the main entrance that came from years of floods and bad storms, you had to make sure to step over it when you came through the door otherwise your foot was certainly going to go through the boards and there would officially be a hole there. I don’t think that poor old woman could handle it if there was one more hole in her house. She raised 4 children in that house, and they took their toll on it for sure. Although some of the damage came from fights with an abusive husband who left her there one day and just never returned.
