These mountains

are full of hollows and riddled with mines: a geography of loss.

snow

The way my skin cracks in winter

maybe I’ll molt.

ice, seasonal pools

Ask a vintner or a fromager:

few things are more festive than decay.

snow, trees

icy road

leaving the car in the care
of the low sun

cars, road, winter

The forests of my earliest childhood

are evergreen.

lycopodium, snow

Lay me in a fist-sized hole

feathered with rime.

frost, leaves

mountaintop pond

the blind dog lapping
at her reflection

dogs, seasonal pools

Neurons take a dendritic form

to maximize their receptivity to the lightning of thought.

trees

Let’s be honest:

we were adrift long before we were at sea.

snow, trees

What brutal moonlight persisting throughout the day

has convinced us this stillness is meditative?

katydids, snow, trees

In the coming chill

we will all have to become subnivean.

snow, tracks, voles

What is more subversive than laughter?

Only love. Maybe.

grapevine, snow
