The Shrinking Season Poem by Michael Burch

The Shrinking Season



The Shrinking Season
by Michael R. Burch

With every wearying year
the weight of the winter grows
and while the schoolgirl outgrows
her clothes,
the widow disappears
in hers.

Thanks, I'm glad you think so. That one was published by Angle, an Australian literary journal.
