Winter's afterglow

Todd Bersley

She stretches on the sofa and
watches white apple blossoms
fall through the black branches.

Robins flutter in the pool nearby,
but cannot douse the orange-feathered
fire that makes them dance.

She sits there in the window,
flushed with sunlight,
remembering,

and feels the feathered fingers
brush her face,
choke her throat with down.
