Comparison
the blush
of phoenix burning blights?
of a grasshopper
that dons a checkerspot’s cape?
of nacre-hued winged swarm,
glint-greased in a revel of sun?
can you?
swans that expound silent
on a silk-blue lake?
an owl who questions,
covert as the creole of meadowlarks?
will you?
no schooner more magical
than a porpoise.
each eagle astral, supernal, laudable,
not a jet plane.

Coldest it's been in four decades here in Maine, gusts to -50F, on this 23rd anniversary of my brother's death.
