i have not been hungry,
but there is
evidence
everywhere there is evidence of hunger.
this was under snow
for a week or two
and with the thawing there is
evidence
it's a hard winter so far
but there is a bit of dancing going on,
no matter what.
who has such joy?
dear god where do they get the energy?
i, who love wintertime
have been grumpy
grumpy
between snow and ice and bitter coldsnowsleetfreezingrainice and
a great weariness
and cold,
dead
fear
someone, some small one
finds joy,
maybe?
so today i walked
between warmth and flood watch
the fields weird,
like lakes,
with strange evidence
of who
WHO?
has
walked this way?
i walked freely, with a big stride,
no crampons!
