Click hereJanus slinks thru
Dooryards and up staircases
Past windowjams and breathing glass
Where doves huddle under
Supplyhouses banked with
Crystalline beauty layered on top of seeds scattered like
Frozen promises of collective repasts-
Those grassdroppings left by spring and eyed by raincoat crows
Black as moonless dawns as if dogpaws leave crumb trails
Showing the easy way to digging, no different really
Than Mina birds half a world away
Praying for husks to drop from
Hibiscus and Birds of paradise.
Janus performs the caesarian-
Early term and lifting the north from
The shivering mother-
Suggestions of survival and arrays
of color begun like the surest bet
on both the yin and the yang.
Janus teases light up from tropical meridians.
Reaching even the north of all norths,
As the doves bristle and shake off nightsnows
Waiting to be robbed by the laughing crow.

flyguy69over 19 years agoI love the "raincoat crows", and the image of caesarian-born winter. An enthralling poem, EE!
I was distracted by some of your line breaks in the first couple stanzas.
