Stark street sleet (2017)

  

here comes ice, silver-sealing sky ceiling

sprinkle blast clean, stark street kneeling,

   under the awning, yvonne in her box;

   streets now white, stark school of knocks


rap tap napping --------her cardboard door,

ice gets his beak wet in the neck of the poor

   burger bag litter, all soggy with sleet

   silvered sky ceiling, sideways indiscrete


blowing fine ice dust from two miles above

yvonne's eyelids fluttered their doves

   butterfly kissing the cold that could bill

   there on white stark street, intractable 


a sojourn to cheek hill, the ice near belabored

transfigured our landscape around old mount tabor





2017
