The Ermine



                                       little ermine with black tipped tail

                                        something has drawn blood from your beautiful white throat

                                        left you lying on this path through the meadow

                                        I lean into another loss / yearning for summer

                                        spring already a lie

      I know I need to look at it with a fresh perspective, but it's hard ... so good to hear from you, Tony. :)

    A succinct and poignant eulogy. I perceive something more than an earthling in you.

    What a beautifully haunting painting you have chosen to accompany this poem. It matches it so well. Wonderful combination.
