Sheer White

Sheer White

This is my whitest winter

Here in my white deco condo

Adrift on a white hillside of snow

Coated in ice upon which I lose my balance

Fall laughing into the deep snow

From my plate glass I look over

White rooftops as white insects dart

Then turn to fluff to the tiny bits of

Down from the celestial Snowgoose

Or some invisible snow angel

Wisps own the air the Sun

Has abdicated to the cold

The white keys of the piano make melody

Make the white insects of fairy dust dance

And neither ice nor mist melt away
