dog run

 
winter minded, i count 
no days and listen 
to the silence

imaginations are limited
i have no needs, i feed
the animal of my body

i turn to say "you"
but no one, except my
mirrored self elapsed by moon

in the woods, white
and brown tones, village of 
neon orange mushrooms

ice is a marvel, look how
the geese stand on lakeshore
imitating jesus

there, a fish carcass 
embanked between snow
and lake 

someone, 
some you, announces
things gather at the edges 

a few steps away, 
a geese wraps it's neck like a scarf
to rest on it's round body

she is nested in the cattails
they cannot sway, heavy 
with snow, with death
