February 2017 Tanka

The phone lines
that should carry
your voice
sag with ice
this unfinished scarf,
I never could get
I the tension right

This warm kitchen
and a fragrance of
herbs
as familiar
as the pattern of
apples
on my
my grandmother's
apron

A perfect storm
snowflakes fall
straight down
indoors, outdoors
the balance of this
day
somehow shifting

     c.p.
