Brief Reprieve
Cold haze
slow releases
from naked trees
long barren
austere
that squirrel
poised
on a
narrow fence
twitching precision
left right
abrupt and
December’s day
briefly kind
pithy benevolence
lets April play
transcendent
though brief
this reprieve
tenders
far distant
birds jubilant song
serene.
