FOUR PLAY

As daylight crept away, defeated
A darkness called me to be seated
Beneath a tree that was no more
Beside a silenced, absent, shore



a cold wind chuckles
passersby turn from her greeting
cul-de-sac trash swirls



a fallen sparrow
feathers riffle in the cold
a bitter wind howls



their hats now tilted
snowmen lean into the sun
carrots sniffing springtime
