Winter Montage

by Dixie Partridge

Frost etching on windows.

Ice thickening

on the trough. Ground frozen

and accepting no footfall.

The sky warms enough

for snow. Deepens.

Blizzard.

Drifts.

Farm sheds rounded

to cold feather beds.

Snowbanks. The grinding

of plows on the highway.

Nights milk blue.

Days snow-blind.

White.
