It's below freezing;
The lawn is a white blanket;
I must be crazy.
The line of my porch
Is now a clear and cold white.
Still the cars rush by.
Is now a clear and cold white.
Still the cars rush by.
The long white driveway
Marks the absence of travel--
Undisturbed blanket.
Marks the absence of travel--
Undisturbed blanket.
A spot in the branch:
A tiny sailing blackbird
Lands on the tree top.
A tiny sailing blackbird
Lands on the tree top.
Bird swoops from the sky,
Emerging from the blankness
Then to disappear.
Emerging from the blankness
Then to disappear.
Snow covered red swing
Sits empty through the seasons;
No one rides it now.
Sits empty through the seasons;
No one rides it now.
It's really not bad
When you see it in the flesh:
A real horse's ass.
My good friend, black Belle
Comes padding down to greet me;
Then she runs away.
Comes padding down to greet me;
Then she runs away.
Invisible plane
Roars softly across the sky.
Then silence returns.
Roars softly across the sky.
Then silence returns.
