Barcelona, winter 2020/2021
And light rain
developing out of mist—
meet the cold snap as
a friend of old,
lingering present
to walk with.
Still mostly sunny days,
wintering sheer from harbor to hills—
large portions of hope
range forth,
frosty breath
through new shutters.
Early December, Barcelona
Misty rain,
an early winter cold snap—
yellow elm leaves drift streetward.
winter holidays, Barcelona 2020-2021
myriad tiny bulbs
electric picturing
rangy skies’ assortments
cling through distance
to this fence these stalks
grains
color returns
a tree
a star
these lights
