about

Rapunzel is locked away in the tower, the witch's granddaughter comes for a winter visit...

lyrics

wind whooshes through fissures in darkhour shingles
something on the evening stairs sounds december
and my porch, a tundra of bone chimes,
crackssnaps!
through seaglass casement curtains
my heart a tangle in their filaments
I watch grandma’s fingers weave
winter kitchen incandescence
readying silk for the telling of stories
she leaves garden radish tending for spring
when duranta blooms
and hollyhock cultivate the land for moth-tide:
the season of air shaft whimsy
and spin-past-on-the-breeze wings
when digging ‘round the little plants’ sproutgreens,
their iron tangy fleshy folds red lipped, bundled
oozing a low ache
earth blood beneath her fingernails
between the tiny plot’s molting ash wood fence stakes
up to their shoulders high with snows
and iced barbed wire keeps the love inside
— Misha Penton
