Winter Montage

Frost etchings on windows.

Ice thickening

on the trough. Ground frozen

and accepting no footfall.

The sky warms enough

for snow. Deepens.

Blizzard.

Drifts.

Farm sheds rounded

to cold feather beds.

Snowbanks. The grinding

of plows on the highway.

Night milk blue.

Days snow-blind

White.
