outside, taps on panes
gray skies, frozen drops
wet ground, slips of ice

outside, taps on panes
gray skies, frozen drops
wet ground, slips of ice
transfigured bits of
great impermanence
strike within, arouse
astonishment, stoke
energy: glisten
distinctive snowflake
infinitude feel
floating, air unseen
falling down upon
solid ground: could melt
extensive wind brings
you . . . farther than then
your previous forms
inimitable—
all . . . before the thaw
