Because it Stopped Snowing

This week's Poem of the Week was the last poem I posted on Watermelon Pickle Poems before Marlboro College changed servers on me and I lost my FTP access.

It's about a year old. Happy Birthday, poem.

I was thinking about it because of the snow.



How winter come on

One day not so long ago
The atoms of the air
Bloomed like fractal flowers suspended
In front of our faces

And there
Within our soft wet grasp
Came winter: Morning frost on cars
Capillary and glinting

And all of us stood
In doorways full of breath
Talking about how winter come on
Sudden this year.
