Snow
Travels
By Judith Janoo
light
and down
in
its kingdom
sweeps
parallel
as
supine you gaze,
question
why remain,
and
miss the great escape
south
or west
still
braced against
last
week’s freeze
that
wheezes, moans
bone
scrapes bone
until
at once unleashed
into
white silence
you
travel as wind crystals
over
neighbor’s blue van
abandoned,
up to its wheels
in
white, over roofless shed
left
open to soft fragments
falling
over the woodpile
lining
the drive
lighting
on fir saplings
bowed
down and higher,
birches
regal parchment
cleaving
and even these
peeled,
dried,
crowned.
