Some words for the week

this morning

light and moisture conspire

to cast a sheet of gold

over the valley edge

hung above like

some new soft sky

the river frozen

the deer bedded in snow

the cars coughing exhaust

the trees leafless

and some timbered

after the recent rust of wind

the signs frosted

and the air like perfect fire

the sun and mist

swirled so sacred and

shining
