January

She’s a white queen with pretty feet of ice

on a year’s starting blocks, a cold killer,

consumpter, tragedy organizer


but she is also a clear and chique bride

who has scattered confetti on billions,

a new-child and a playful, gradual

enticer to light and daughter of wind,


howler and bellower in snowfull shapes,

bender of trees, isolator, thrasher,

tester of cowering blood-hot humans:


in awe of her strength we are forced inwards,

warmwards, to a log fire, hearth; each other.
