Winter awaiting

sagestowell

Updated: Dec 9, 2023

Stagnant crystals updraft, catch

the wind eddy, blow down

the trough curl in the tree well.


Days crawl longer into the light

moonbeams wash the mountains,

slip purple shadows in the night.


While snowcats prowl open slopes,

lynx pad wind drifts, point ridgeward,

slip silent into waiting glades.


Facets shatter, cornices curl

twine down spines, descend

cold tendrils into inversion pools.


Smoke hangs in the grey,

cords of wood spilled forward

tumbled yardward, needles blown.


Stars and houses merge the horizon,

slice the plain of sight, cut the night,

scatter white and glow up the porch.
