Garden Statue
icicle fangs
over frost-jewelled wings
enshadowed by cold.
this costumed stone,
how long and pearly of teardrop
to cry ice?
or does it loaf,
lathered in late-winter suds,
a sybarite who bathes,
angel turned dragon?
soon, though, robins will perch,
bold as apples
when the sun fletches a shaft
to strike.
