Winter Thaw

The Snowmen...a week later;(
No gold complexion
warms the kitchen table
Only gray
A nondescript pall
hovering morbidly
against the day
without soft wind-song
filtering
through winter's tree
but just a sodden
drip-drip-drip
as earth swallows a sea
of melted snowflakes
in its mouth
and gripping winds recoil
Who is this maiden
from the south
perplexing winter's toil?

  1. Interesting perspective. The seesaw between winter and spring can be a discouraging time. But soon spring will come to stay!
