Winter Walking
On winter walks
on crisp cold mornings
my favorite part
of frozen gravel paths
is finding
rumpled edges
and shallow ditches
where skims of
clouded ice
hang waiting
for my ice-searching
puddle-crunching feet to
smash crash crinkle crackle crunch
through to
the hollow space beneath.
on crisp cold mornings
my favorite part
of frozen gravel paths
is finding
rumpled edges
and shallow ditches
where skims of
clouded ice
hang waiting
for my ice-searching
puddle-crunching feet to
smash crash crinkle crackle crunch
through to
the hollow space beneath.
