GYMNOPÉDIES NO. 3

This sunlight on snow. This decrescendo

of covered stumps & brush—stop for it. Stop

before the sled end-over-ends down the chin

of the hill—the way it always will at the rock

⅔ of the way down. Stop & shiver in it: ring

of snow inside gloves, cusp of red forehead under

the hat like a sun just waiting to top the hill. Every

ill-built snowball waiting to be thrown, every

bell-shaped angel stamped into the brown leaves.

Back before, when my little girl ranged in winter,

she rearranged its dazzling veneer—crestfallen

pinecones, grizzled beards of bushes in the morning,

furnace’s windup huffing a throat-clearing of snow.
