sound of steady drip
from trees and rooftops
frozen rain thawing
sound of steady drip
from trees and rooftops
frozen rain thawing
water and ice
life-giving and ravaging
one degree apartĀ
all night freezing rain
the sound of crackling thunder
ice laden limbs fall
outside my window
women on way to market
loud honking of geese
sound of elderly feet
shuffling past open casket
leaves falling outside
