Prairie Poetry   
  Listening
   
 

high up in the mountains the beast
of Winter waits
for the perfect
moment

high up in the mountains Autumn
breath slows
to notice its crystalline
core

high up in the mountains lovers
huddle close
and closer
merge to flow

down through the foothills as this white-robed
messenger -- the season's first
ecstatic
blizzard
