as it gets cold and gray falls from the air
that you will go on
walking, hearing
the same tune no matter where you find yourself"

Or if they sing, 'tis with so dull a cheer
That leaves look pale, dreading the winter's near."

a winter weight
a mid-shimmering of heat distorted things"

like laughter that has found a final, silent shape..."

against a sure winter
the wise trees
stand sleeping in the cold."

and hail and rain does blaw;

The blinding sleet and snaw."

"Over a still world, a bird calls
Walking solitary among black boughs."

~Louise Gluck, End of Winter

"In my coat I sit
at the window sill
Wintering with snow
That did not melt
It fell long ago
At night, by stealth
I was where I am
When the snow began."

Art by Heather Sims

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Its falling still, but still we must
raise something up, a man of snow
In image of a man of dust."
