on black ice crazy paving 
whispers from a rusty down-pipe
veer across my final midnight abyss...

SWAN SONG

black ice fools
swans’ midnight landing
feathers slide

winds laughter
tickles newborn twigs
raven’s smirk

White ice black ice
neither is nice
me falling twice
paying the price
living up north
winters not worth
second month always bad
seeing March I'll be glad...

Snow covered black ice on the ground;
Wrong gentle steps put me sleigh and down;
Hardly with hands and legs stand up my body;
Halfway, well-forged heart doesn't give up easily....

a riot of flakes
conjured by nature's magic...
cars slip-sliding on black ice

winter’s confetti
starts entombing autumn's dead... 
colors are shrouded in white...

Black ice in a
white glass, I drink today
philter for moon.

Paradise, I 
find nowhere. World sleeps
on tenterhooks.

The yellow dead
rose lost naked feel,
in blue water.

No one else can see
The beauty of winter’s grace
let snow crystals be
black ice firmly in place 
you slip and slide with me 
And we both fall on our face
No one else can see
The beauty of winter’s grace...

black ice terrifies me
my headlights are frosted over
impatient relatives are waiting
a four hour trip turns into a six hour trip
snow blizzard of 1987, no phones back then
My teeth chatter when I remember my fear...

Cursed with so much love to give,
never seems to be enough;
Living feeling like a ghost,
black eyes slipping on black ice; 
Tired of the games people play,
Cursed with feeling way too much, 
maybe gone will be enough....

Yes, we'll let
     the wind
  fly through 
our 
hair
we can move 
            like 
            angels
during the storm
"Unreal city"
             glows in 
the night
          we catch 
rainbows 
     as we walk...

Black ice in Snowtown
Sleet and hail bash the Snowman
Wee Snowgirl just born.


Sun burst in Snowtown
White on white - the valley peeps 
Dazzling winter bride.


All's hushed in Snowtown
Tiny noses peer through glass
Robin redbreast's dead....

Black ice beneath fresh snow.
To the shop I must go.
I slither here and there
And now I really fear.
What if then I should slip
Land on sciatic hip?
But I shall persevere
For I’ve run out of beer
So to the shop I go.
Black ice beneath fresh snow.
