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.
