Poem: Blizzard Images

 

 

Blizzard Images


branches thicken into pitchforks 

under a drizzle of intertwisted rollercoasters.

 

it's a hectic cri de cœur

jumble of every language, 

swept along in snowflake sprees.


everyone knows what is said, and what will be said,

by this indecipherable jeremiad of gusts;

 

of rapturous February linens, 

cerements which unravel even as they are stitched.


this sort of cerecloth doesn’t care

about the curse of omens borne in its ghostly slip.

 

is it mere luck that such nude monsters disperse 

as soon as they howl?

that none of them flies long enough to exist?
