Lot cooler today, and quite windy. . .good an explanation as any.
~~~~~luvyuluvyuluvyuluvyuluvyuluvyuluvyuluvyuLUVyu~~~~


               Lost Tie
 
whole days and nights fit
as if knitted into communicating
gloves that we thought breathed
let in enough light not to fall
 
got up, brushed gloves and all
were still congratulating ourselves
when a seam tore, then another
cold seeped and crept
 
temperature  plummeted
before an unexpected front
dry enough to rattle
yet everything shrank
 
long walks we had walked
gloved warm had been vanquished
by wind-driven leaves so spotted
both vacuumed before we parted
 
too dry to cry, too cold to laugh
bundle up in anything
the morning after

You bring insight into the weather and how we are affected by the mishaps in life that chill our bones when they wear out.

Got to be careful walking on slippery leaves.
Help a lady. Needs a new hip..

Love the discriptions... Last stanza says it all really.

temperature plummeted
before an unexpected front
dry enough to rattle
yet everything shrank........Happens to me in the cold weather too.:))

Again you have touched on the untouchable with grace and insight, the comparisons between weather an love is subtle but there all the same. Nice work Phyliss.

Thick with insulation, Pea! This is purely a warm cider write. Stick of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Full up to the rim and to be sipped slowly to absorb the comforting words. I'm going to stir this one around a bit if you don't mind, savor every word.

Sounds like Chicago's climate, or New Mexico's right now. Cold in the morning and evening warm during the day. Tough duty if you have to be outside all day
