Poetry of Loss, #3



I have officially stopped traveling to Wishland  
with its ribbonned packages 
and smells of favorite fluff
like anise biscotti
and steamy coffee mugs, and creamy concoctions
created for my pleasure. 


I now wake with a hunger that has no name
for that rare occurrence
when the earth tilts on its axis
and the firmament goes back
 to the day its orbit
smiled on us.

Perhaps a snow day would suffice.  





*snow is a rare occurrence on these shores
