A Poem for the Season: The Dying Year

The Dying Year
© 2014, C. D. (Dean) Bonner

That bleak week

The death rattle of the year

Between Christmas and New Year

A bin with rumbling wheels

Carted the boxes away

The bright wrapping paper carefully salvaged,

Re-rolled for another season

No one is visiting now

Natural items have turned out to be prescription de viagra canada icks.org peaceful and pulled back. This is important to creating buying viagra in uk and keeping an erection. So by now you may be saying to yourself, “Yes, discount cialis icks.org she makes this sound so easy.
Songs have fallen into silence

The scents of the season returned to the yard

And the cupboard

A low-hanging overcast

Low sun, but the days are just perceptibly longer now

I smile, and tilt at the dying year with hazelnut coffee

As hot as I can stand it
