………………………………… in arctic places ……
through glass a near tangle of bare forsythia
under draped wires pole to pole
snapped shot of ruminations
limbs folding upon themselves
graytone chiaroscuro
a dispensation of light
uncalled for in whimskull
further right the barrel arc of a stone wall
familiar as spots on the back of a hand
solid as the conspiracy of crystals
in a froze savanna between here and the neighbor’s shed
at the center of.Hosanna!
