JANUARY 'S INDELIBLE IMPRIMATUR

...impossible to remove


This year began grimly;

Winter steadied its fortress;

Thick daggers of ice

 Plied the seams off our porches...

Encrusted warm-thermals,

Aloft from this sphere,

Extinguished past rainbows,

 Then dropped them like tears...

Faint trickling sounds

On the pavement below

Quite softly, and slowly,

 Spread dollops of snow...

In three months, Earth's breath

Will launch fine, pollen wings:

Proud palette; so pungent!

That first whiff of Spring!!!
