meltwater: 5 views




(1)

ice and snow dissolve
a slow return to the source
sunlight caught inside


(2)

cold glass stalactites
dripping away to the earth
my ancient spirit


(3)

winter is heavy
a pane of glass cold and white
breath held in blue air


(4)

memories of loss
weighted limbs bowed and broken
sole hibernation


(5)

this dawn of new spring
sight and sound of glistening thaw
meltwater at last
