The Gravity of Snow
Drifts slide over
their white-weight,
the heaps are their own snow-plows.
Mounds are erased and remodeled
by a laboring wind.
When the world is a white-out
perception forgets color,
the departed draw nearer.
Graveyard trees
creak,
heavy the waiting
of the gone away,
their ghostly tread
descending
to be invisible once more
under stone heads.
