struggle with the rhyme

mood swinging low
as if a year ago
stuck inside the car
under two feet of snow
suddenly the lamb arrives
not a moment too soon
upside down with confusion
reflection in the spoon
positively forward
one foot then the other
looking forward to summer
hanging out with my only brother
high in the Rockies
far from the tower
he can sit motionless
better part of an hour
as the sun sets and
darkness slowly creeps
emptiness arrives and
beats him as he sleeps
one eye open
focused on the time
one eye closed
struggle with the rhyme…
