FALL/WINTER 2012



Meg Smith

ICE STORM

Now that I have my breath again
I will reach from the snow --
dark branch, crow's grasp,
and its reproach at sunset.
The snow will reach me,
these long white fingers,
this glaze, these still veins.
It will cover you
and these dark things will recede,
the snow will draw in the sun.
