12 Manik
Blue Crystal Hand
The winter lives
In Death’s apparent frozen Sleep---
Dreamless Days march one against another
Like Soldiers gone to Battle
Each fiercer than its Brother
Layered Depths of Frost
Upon a lifeless Tree
Assume the Chill of loneliness
In Nature’s vast Decree
Of Dormancy and cruel Duress
The Cycle of a Season’s Rest---
The Time when all Things lay
Beneath sweet sugared Snow
Which knows no Corner
Where it cannot go.
