Vigil and Vision

Excerpt from Vigil and Vision: New Sonnets

This is the bitter birth-month of the year. The sun looms large against the leaden sky, Rayless and red, as 'twere a giant's eye, That through the mists of death abroad doth peer The fettered earth is dumb for frosty cheer, Veiling its face to let the blast go by.

Who said, Spring cometh Out upon the lie! Spring's dead and buried: January's here.
