Song Of A Winter Attic Poem by Leslie Philibert

Song Of A Winter Attic

Rating: 0.5


Sheets of white ice double the frozen glass,
the net curtains break the ice light and the

smell of damp books and insects, autumn apples,
moments of childhood under eaves,

I am not in sorrow apart from sorrowing, a terrible desire
is born to stop clocks, victims of time and snow and

my grave is hidden under dusty floorboards, so
scratching with broken fingers I search for my sorrow.
