galaxy
of sparkling gold
stars gather on the window
Fluidity
water never tires
of the temperature’s
perpetual requirement of readjustment
Stepping Out
high heeled
cold struts
through January
Into The Gleaming
ice and light
how bright
the ordinary shines
Fine Lined Cold
winter draws
flourishes and finery
with a subzero stylus
Ice Queen
taciturn
winter wore
a crown of bittersweet
Tracery
frost’s filigree
elaborates
the arctic morning
Eyelet River
lacing the surface
cold threading
shore to shore
Behold
angel’s wings
invisible vistors
seen
Trimming
the eaves
wear a tatting of ice
fastened by a shuttle of cold
Becoming One Another
the icing pond
receiving rain
so many ways to be
Jack Frost Morning
feathered
with cold
the world obscured
River Moon
in the frozen river
resides the moon’s
mysterious landscape of light
Veil
lacy ice curtain
veils the dark woods
both awaiting the sun’s revelation
Needles and Thread
evergreen thread
stitching together
each season to the next
Iceland
February grew
trees of ice
a forest of cold
Hard Won Purchase
granite and ice
a cold hard home
for velvet moss
The Change Space
mysteries of the space
in between the thing
and how it is seen
Hearing Hallelujah
crowded so tight
they seem almost one
every dot a note in the visual song
186,000 Miles Each Second
in every grey day
light is always at work
moving towards a breakthough
Dichotomy
without contradiction
arrived the second bloom
interpretation upheld by the past
Slow Waters
fountain in winter
slow flow
of ice and snow
Dendrites
wisdom grown
of fear or love
the web becomes the path
River Wilds
leopard spots
zebra stripes
camouflage of ice
Bittersweet
in iced sunlight
brightness sweetens
the bitter cold
Water’s Way
freeze and thaw
and shifting drifts
all leaning into life
Austerity
sharp edged
cold etches
light into dark
A Lingering
red canoe
a memory
of summer’s kiss
Winter Abstraction
storm’s contemplation
each flake a memory
and time reorganized
Iddy-umpty
morse code of winter
dots and dash of ice
arctic opus written in cold
