trees in silhouette
only shapes in sea of white
arms raised to heaven
trees in silhouette
only shapes in sea of white
arms raised to heaven
frigid conditions
brings urge to curl up and sleep
until spring thaw comes
darkest night occurs
not when I’m farthest away
but when my tilt is
southbound truck thawing
leaves behind stowaway snow
distant winter storm
winter wind whipped pond
bobbing on shimmering waves
flotilla of ducks
