Literature Text

     and as the drifts of wind plow through
our minds with the ease of knives through
flesh



reflect on moments between fresh
snowfall, between fresh
      wounds, cauterized by the bonfire and
sewn with needles
      from the pines and

with crude spheres do we
      build from the ground, craft with our
              fumbling cloth-hands, tumbling with our

      new-fallen friends rise from the earth
      made of laughter are they
      made of youth do they
      wave with maple fingers




sleep with the sun above the clouds
  you february children
  you halcyon fiends of the icy earth
  you souls of

painted flakes with pink of noses and
      fingertips and cheeks flushed and
      kiss before the fireplace

                    wrapped in the fondness of memory
