Winter

Winter- - -
In your bitter ragings
And your whitened shrouds
Endless seeming - - -
You are yet less powerful
Than
A one-day’s
Blooming rose!

Ice Folly
December 11, 2022
Cold and rigid, now,
you neither run,
nor rest
nor fall.
It seems that
all your need
is just to cling
to some sure thing
and yet ambivalent,
your thrust is downward!
Brittle beauty,
treacherous, too, as you hang—
a suspended, frozen longing!
Perhaps you air to bridge the gap?
But please,
not freeze on freeze!
Could you not chose
drop
by icy drop
To lose that glacial form into warmth
Under the snow?
