White Out by Kristina WoodhillI need the snow in winter
like fine silt that covers last
the grave
i need the white out
the blizzard blowing madly
drifting over last season's tired ideas
forced notions
and held-onto tattered endings
i need
to not see through
the blind virginal veil
no rope line to the barn
to lead me safely
i need to be
stood
still
in the field
no idea which way
the furrows lead
i need to count each flake
and then
count each flake again
i need the snow in winter
