Rage, storm

Rage, storm: rescue me
from bland and careful living.
Teach me your wild ways.

Walk you to work

Walk you to work through
deep snow. Homeward, I trace our
boot prints, side by side.

Head-on they come

Head-on they come, four
mares galloping. Hooves beat down,
fresh snow feathers up.

Geese will arrive

Posted on Jan 3, 2015 by ellensymons

The air bites, sharp
as Winter’s kiss. But wait:

Geese will arrive, necks stretched,
wings spread,
pulling a softer wind

to wrap our fresh-bared skin.

Stars fall
Frost shines –
The back deck at dawn

like a prayer

Make it

like a prayer

that first step

onto fresh snow.

In this small, quiet moment

you have not yet

invented yourself.
