January Poised





mid-winter waiting 


forest is the snow now. 
spine, bone and outline 
are silhouette against nature. 

what is living I see as dead,
faithfully waiting against 
changes fathomed, unseen.

my footsteps shatter silence 
on delicate flakes of ice.  I'll 
wake the darkness for sunrise.
