The dry land speaks exposed—
Cold, crisp, fragile.
Thin ice dips and meets river bottom
A fracturing like parched skin on bone
Whip sound cracks
Splitting the blue sky open
In a ****** of crows
One cries
For the absence of snow
A sharp echoing decree.
“I am sorry,”
I call back,
but it fades into the wind—
A lover’s plea
Writ too late.
