so I sequester myself in writing,
pour my heart out on snowy pages,
shovel them into piles,
settle in to read poems and prose,
sleep deep in lyrical lines.

—from “Solstice Shivers” by #EvieGroch, published in #CapsuleStories Winter 2022 Edition: Hibernation. These stories and poems #ruminate on hunkering down for the winter and resting.
