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
