finery

A Fancy Collar Upon The Eaves

in ice and flake
finery added
to the winter day

a blessing
of snow
slowing us into now

finery
of frost
a frozen flowering

winter draws
flourishes and finery
with a subzero stylus

the woods
dress in their finery
fall’s tapestry of leaves

Bejeweled with fungi
the old tree wears
her forest finery.
