Winter Break
Shaded by mountains.
Steam rolls off frosted car hoods
Surrendered breaths.

Quiet here without you
You of home.
No easy answers
I lie

Tongue tripping me up
through invention
that imparts truth.

Confess-
I miss home
the loud boysenberries
that spring from rock
Stain lips.

The tractor echoes
across open ground,
Tilling rain.
