FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH--BENT BY THE ICED WIND


 These were written on Friday, December 13

 

Twenty-four degrees;
It's ten more than yesterday.
We have a heat wave!

 


 Without the sunshine
Even icicles are drab.
The snow waits to fall.

 


 Three tiny fat birds
Perching on thin tree branches
Decide where to fly.


 

 The snow covered log
Lying in the mirrored stream
Casts its own shadow.

 


 The distant chain saw
Sings its mosquito buzz song
In the cold gray air.



 They seem delicate--
These small spidery saplings
Bent by the iced wind.



 Sun breaks through the clouds;
Radiance showers the road;
Before darkness falls.
