Cathedral
Windows in the Arctic Wind
L.

Winter
challenging with cold races by faster than
the
summer's hotter climb surprise in blitz
Earth's
orbit spins around the sun & it shadow star making cubic slices
as the square dancing of the pair
What
we gain in the Red River valley for the wheat the droughts &
floods take back, branch & vine defeat
Our
almanac of counties sand squeezed out the oil to frac
in
Liberty's necessity the law stands firm on fact
La
Nina & El Nino vie for & drive the winds, I can only
stare
thru the windows an eye of peace beyond all sins
Myself
a snowflake, full of light made like its symmetries
one
among the countless winter's Christmas joy, or misery
Breaking
branches, badger dug in, new hope, new growth
Longing
to make my journey anew, my wind drowned oaths
