”Imagination, as it were, abstracts from thisness.” Jan Zwicky, WISDOM AND METAPHOR, #64
work-in-progress
Winter wandering
between snowfalls discovers
the whites. At the cove
idle pleasure craft
are tarped and shuttered, blinding
under broken clouds.
Amidst mottled ducks,
Canada geese form white forms
in our streaming eyes.
In a cluttered mind
a walk in the snow reveals
the good of walking.
