On a winter's day somewhere north of here the sun shines downbut cannot melt
the icy cold snow of her heart
she is a beautiful tree
but brittle from the freeze
If the dead things can break off
and fall away during a winter storm
In the warming spring
new life will come
and there will be buds and leaves
flowers in summer, then
fruit will come
if...only things
die and break away
in the right season.
