Sheila Murphy has given me(Ron Rozewski) permission to share
her New Year's poem:
Upon the Year 2009
Dissonant nostalgia crafts daylight
from shards of ice,
to form some small beginning.
Coordinates elude
the spirit until
fragrance draws on
palpable experience.
Memory retrieves shrill messages,
unpolished lines of code
brittle to touch and toned to match
the caliber of hope.
Fracture activates synapses
in the quiet of new weather
deliberate as a nest
receiving threaded light
immune to winter of our making.
