constructions – chapter 1(a)
poem new year
winter appear palely, there is suggestion of
of feathery powders
winds roughs the trees strips the virtual air ..
the bend of the creek cradles blocks of ice
what lies before us are the trails thru
the shifting brambles, the graceful bones of grass,
the crags in the symbolic hills & the narrows of
bridges & ladders under a skyward lazy eye
the measures of this day are obscured by long thin sweeps
of clouds, great extensions
these are agents of a reborn year
heading for earth
