Delicately formed snowflakes flutter
down from heaven like diamond lace-
gently brushing her lips
and the frost melts and drips
across a heart- formed mouth,
the scent of her skin...

the hardy homeowner

lays out Xmas lights

I once spent the winter 
Near the town willow creek.

Statues orate
snow white odes
Lilies loquate
lavender soliloquies

and thickets galore
mountaintops blue in the haze
walked through hayfield stubble
with a damp, faithful dog

I am anticipating Halloween
but thoughts dissolve quickly
in fields...

The mountains won't cry,
The sky is only the sky, and it -
Will not change its course, for anyone;
The cold, scouring wind has no sympathy:

Seemingly impossibly...

Conceived by negative compounds
I came to existence,
Covered in an attractive outfit 
An attraction too many

My sisters’ crystal clear
Cold and useful
Could be found at the poles

THE COLOUR OF SILENCE IS WHITE



The whiteness of the milk
Soothes the baby’s crying
The unblemished paper of a letter
Not written, says snothing
White lilies at funerals
