“In Winter,” Friend, Jan. 1983, 44

In Winter

By Sandra Liatsos

We’ve landed

on a planet

where no one’s

stepped before.

The ground is sparkling

in the sun

like a silver shore.

We leave a trail

of footprints,

two strangers

from afar,

who’ll soon explore

the brand-new world

gleaming like a star.
