Fight flight freeze or fawn
body cold heavy and still
awakens to warmth
Friday Haiku
The weakening eye of day
I leant upon a coppice gate
When Frost was spectre-grey,
And Winter’s dregs made desolate
The weakening eye of day.
The tangled bine-stems scored the sky
Like strings of broken lyres,
And all mankind that haunted nigh
Had sought their household fires.
from Thomas Hardy’s The Darkling Thrush
