CHELIDONIANHumid, pungent air -Scent carried on a soft wind,Warm, sweet, blooming spring.

When alone - warm, sweet. Together, a horror show. Leader calls, attack!

Other’s families - Warm, welcoming, stable, fun. Not mine, my burden.

The days are longer. A gentle breeze flirts some warmth. More snow! Bitter hag.

Down a dark, dank hole. Ladder, pinky - holding on. Just let go or climb?    

Gray and white palette - Frosted pines bend in the wind; Ice crystals, floating.

MEMORIAL Immortalized names - Who only time remembers, In stone, on a hill.
