Sculptured white and brown
Twisted tree transformed by snow.
Crow sits beyond it.










Icy stream still runs
Cutting through the frozen banks--
Black swath--endless white.

Beaten up mailbox
Choked with and covered with snow.
Nobody is home.












An endless driveway
Winds through the whitened forest;
Soundless snow clumps fall.

Falling to the road
Snow clumps burst into whiteness
Like stars descending.












Moving up the tree
Snow seems to be ascending;
A winter secret.

Wooden tentacles
Surround the tree and reach out
Seeking to entwine.

Hanging ice flowers
Bloom again over the stream,
Translucent and changed.
