Ode to Winter
December 2, 2019
Oh, forget that.
Those pandering, whimpering verses
Who hath not seen thee oft among thy store?
I want power.
Real power -
Wind that knocks the papers out of bony hands
And icicles that dagger off of dripping beards
And frost that chaps exposed noses
Till they bleed.
Bury me in drifts that sting my knees and numb my toes
Like a reminder
That you belong to no one,
That you were here before anything,
Before light and sun and shade.
So Winter,
Thou hast thy music too,
Forget mercy
Do not spare a cent.
