Crow Flying (M.A. Reilly, Ringwood, NJ) |
Winter
BY DAVID ORR
THE GRAVEST season
And least understood
Is more than pale heads
In fur hoods
And least understood
Is more than pale heads
In fur hoods
More than the blackbirds
No longer singing
Above the clearing they are
Darkly ringing
No longer singing
Above the clearing they are
Darkly ringing
More than the snow
Embodied as men
Posed in solitary
Vigil again
Embodied as men
Posed in solitary
Vigil again
And equals the need
To live past recalling
Out where the mercury
Won’t stop falling
To live past recalling
Out where the mercury
Won’t stop falling
